I take good luck any where I can find it so yeah that counts! 🙂 I'm fascinated by propagating plants from cuttings. We grow our garden from seeds and I guess I did get a couple of plants from some of my family in Kansas last year but mostly we have been uncertain about cuttings.
I was totally surprised that the rhododendron bloomed. I had no idea they could be forced.
I'm sure some plants are easier to grow from cuttings than others, but it might be worth a try.
