I was looking at my clematis vines out front today, and I cracked one of the branches, so I brought it in and made new cuttings from it. I have about six of them in a jar with water now. Also, I noticed some new growth coming out of the ground from the clematis on the shady side of the front arbor.

I hope the old clematis cuttings that I put in pots are doing OK. They went dormant for the winter, but I wonder if they had enough roots to handle the change from water to soil and being dormant for so long.
