Mama's Gardenia


This Gardenia started from a little cutting my Mama rooted for me. I never could get anything to root like she did. All she would do was put the cutting into a glass of water set it in her window seal and make sure it didn't run out of water. So one day I decided I needed something to go on both sides of my walk it's about 50' long. So I needed alot of something. Everything I looked at was so expensive for the amount of plants I needed. So I decided to take cuttings off my now grown Gardenia. I cut about 70 or more cuttings off it and put them in a glass of water like mama did. And guess what!! I have tiny little roots on all the cuttings. So maybe I can plant along side my walk after all. Without it costing an arm and a leg to do it.
