Above: the top cutting is from a sharp blueberry. The lower cutting with the orange berry is an ohelo (Vaccinium reticulatum Sm. ERICACEAE) from the Big Island, Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. It was originally from the Kilauea Caldera. Here's what the plant will look like if I can get it to grow here in South Florida....

Bougainvillea Cutting
(Below)
I took this cutting off the top of the plant. It's new growth and the stem is green and bendy as opposed to hard and brown like the older stems on the plant. It has 2 thorns and several nodes. The bottom 1/2 inch of the cutting was wounded then dipped in rooting hormone and planted. I also took a few lower leaves off.
The bottom two photos are of my blueberry bushes. I took cuttings of the sharp and misty, dipped in rooting hormone, and planted right next to the main plant.
I am very excited to see how these cuttings do. Our day temps are in the 80s and evenings are in the mid 70s still.
