Actually, 75 Mexican Sunflower cuttings were planted. Given the condition of some of the cuttings and the disadvantge of the season for plantation, only 50 of the plantations are counted for now to be successful as a conservative measure.

The freshly cut Mexican Sunflower cuttings were collected from the Ashrama Gardens Urban EverGreen Jungle early in the morning by Dr. Puneeth Kumar B P. Nataraja Upadhya (myself) counted at least 60 cuttings worthy of plantation among the 75 before handing it over. We have decided to discount another 15 cuttings, given the risk of drying out post plantation.

There is an opportunity to plant another 200-250 cuttings in this serene location, the Ashrama Gardens urban evergreen jungle is put on notice to deliver them in batches through near future.
