So, what's the earthquake report from those living in the San Francisco area?

My D. falconeri has produced its first leaf. VERY tiny - about 1 cm
including the petiole.

My Mexican Pings are successfully being propagated by leaf cuttings now.
Since November, I had tried propagating them, but all the leaf cuttings
failed. Before that, and since a few weeks ago, I'm getting a high
success rate from P. kondoi and P. rotundiflora. Seems only leaves made
during certain times of the year are able to reproduce by leaf cuttings.

I've started the D. auriculata seeds a few months ago and have had them
outside the past few weeks. Today I noticed something has been digging
into the pots. It could be birds or squirrels. Also, the newest
germinated seeds of N. (ventricosa x ...) have both died probably from
damping-off disease. The oldest one that germinated last November has
produced about 9 leaves. It's still small with pitchers about 1 cm.
tall. I have 4 seedlings of this hybrid still alive and they seem to be
doing well.
