Nope...they died!  I wasn't able to give them enough water.  The drought this year just totally killed them. Oh Well.  So I bought two more...these are bigger and  already starting to bloom. Hopefully they will live.  I am putting them in a different spot.

I am waiting to see if these plantings lived. I think the small shrub I bought at the nursery last year died over the summer. The twig I planted from the cutting might still be alive, it still had leaves till mid-fall, but the fall/winter drought may have done it in.  I am waiting to find out for sure. I am very sad about them.  Updates to come...

I  took one propagation from Childress Texas.  Bought a shrub and planted it in early spring.
