                    Was that correct? I don't read very thoroughly when someone yells "go!"

                      I missed this because I was making figpops all afternoon. Darn it. What do you need to do to be a runner up?

                        Yes it is! Well as rooted cuttings I went Strawberry Shortcake as well as Amrita.

                        The cuttings of S&S Cherry and HSK I already obtained earlier and passed it along the runner up contest and rewarded with the consolation prize to replace the ones I passed on.

                        Oh I picked Mario's 166 Abazia and 50 Lazzaro as replacements.
