As I roll Mother around the various plantings surrounding the nursing  
home she often says, "take a cutting from that and put it in the  
ground," or something to that effect. It is a longstanding mindset  
that survives her dementia. She has lived frugally all her life and  
one way a plant enthusiast copes with limited funds is by sharing  
cuttings and rootings as well as seeds with friends and strangers alike.
