While everything outside is brown, I have a few things on the inside that's green and keeping me from going insane. This weather isn't even good for fishing. Here is a Paradiso I started from a cutting I got from Herman2. I potted it with root initials on Feb 4, 2010 as the date on the cup shows. It's in my inverted blue cups with UPM and showing off a lot of very nice roots. I hope the rest of y'all are seeing some green. It must suck to live in the NE right now.

Gene, those are some great looking, happy roots.  I took your advice and stuck with the see-thru orange cups, and I'm happy with them...it's harder to tell if the soil is properly damp, but the roots are very clear.

I also have some stuff laying around that's green.  The pictures are terrible (BlackBerry camera, as usual), but ...

The small cups are a mix of all kinds of stuff - Bisirri, 143-36, Sudliche, Sal (Gene), MBVS, Hardy Chicago, Conadria, Gino's Black, Schuyler unkown and one or two others that I'm probably forgetting (bins are full with more stuff).

Edit:  Those cups.... I ended up having a lot of problems with roots sticking. 

Here are few pics of my progress thus far.
This is the bird room/greenhouse.
The birds sing and the palnts grow!
Who could as for anything more.

Here is a link to my birds singing!!

Jason, those are looking good. I have just put to root those you last sent me. I hope I can do as well.

Buster, nice looking plants. I see numerous cutting of tena in one pot, are they put together to root all in one pot skipping any baggie or other method to start roots?  I too have stuck a few cuttings, of which I had plenty, directly into pots to see how many will root. It's too early to tell yet, need some warm weather.

That's what I am doing.
It's warm in the room there because of the birds.
The Teena I received from Texas and the Desert king from British Columbia.
The one on the window sill is from Ottawa, a mystery fig.
The big one in the pot on the ground is a brown turkey.
