Thanks Graywolf,

Since yesterday I kept running thru my head....stem, where would I get cells from? Was thinking maybe cross cut a stem and use pith cells?

This AM I saw your post and eureka.....
NODES, of course, the light bulb went on over my head.

These would be meristem cells or meristematic tissue.

BTW, I had managed to get green growth plantlets started (not as nice as what you showed) but could never round the corner and get roots to grow...the point I finnally gave up at.

Thanks again
OM
