Hi all ,

I was wondering if you have grown chimeras from the bloom stems of the plant , I have done it a few times and an potting up some today and just wondered who else does this and how successful you have been and on the average have they bloomed true for you , I have had suckers on the plants not bloom true but don't really know how common this is , please tell us your ways of growing and propagating Chimeras , I have only done beheading , bloom stems and suckesr but I have heard there are other ways too , something about making pin hole in the stem ? anyway please add your expertise too :)

Hugs ,
Connie
