Hi Penny,
Those cuttings sound great. Glad my post triggered the memory. When you
think of the name I would love to know as it sounds like something I would
like. It sounds like I need to get my ornamental sweet potatoes as early as
possible and send you all some rooted cuttings or just buy a few extra 2-3
inch pots at 50 cents a piece and ship them to you.
