It feels like I must have actually seen it, because I remember enough of the scenes and characters (if not the plot), but I can't imagine any circumstances that would have led me to do so, so I don't know.

Including a gorgeous dark red variety.<br />I had better results with water-rooting (and plenty of light, that was probably the biggest part of my problem), so I'll try again when I bring the plants in for winter and have to cut them back.

In fact, there are little Abutilon seedlings coming up in the pots of most of the plants that have stood near my red-flowered Abutilon due to a lapse in deadheading that resulted in half a dozen seed pods scattering their seeds all Nichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07291223943168030684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-48176513700088153092010-09-01T05:07:49.314-07:002010-09-01T05:07:49.314-07:00Good luck with the seeds!
