14. I have been amazed at what will root in water and overwinter.

I have an Angelonia plant that I grew from last year's rooted cuttings and this year I discovered catalina (wishbone flower) and marigolds will root in water. Remains to be seen if they will overwinter but it's always fun to try.

My craziest water survivor is a hosta cutting my mom gave me last year. All the leaves fell off but I kept the roots in water and they grew new leaves this summer. It's still sitting in the windowsill and may have to wait until next year to go in the ground b/c shady spots are few and far between around casa de beac.
