Update... first plantlet has popped up from one of the leaf cuttings. This is (Lyon's) 'Magic Charms' (as labeled), which they describe on their site as "Huge, double and semidouble pink stars, with frilled edges, load each flower stem. Magnificent flowers are outlined with a thin raspberry edge, and are bountifully flecked and streaked with blue fantasy."

I have (2) AV that I've lost the leaf cuttings ... one tiny little pair wilted almost on arrival from a shipping delivery delay of (5) days at the post office ... shipped during bitterly cold weather and caught Thanksgiving postal shutdown. The other 'appeared' to be doing fine, then I have just discovered both leaves have died... Shrug! All the rest are rooted and looking great. Crossing Fingers!

For cuttings that were put into their pots and only actually started barely a month ago, I am very pleased to see a baby popping up.
Life is what happens while you are making other plans.
