GEUM TOTALLY TANGERINE... three rows of petals:-)

that is beautiful, now i can see why you like them so much

That's the one I have, too. It flowers for months on end and looks so good. Must look for these triples. Can't say I've noticed them before.

Such pretty structure and lovely colours !

That is lovely, I really must get some of these...

going on my favs right now,

I'm out to convert everyone sticki:-)

Oji, how long have you had yours? I think this is the first time I've seen the triple. Mine flowered for at least 10 months only taking a short break before starting again:-)

Thanks Terra, a real 'value for money' plant too:-)

Hi Lincs, I think I bought mine from Hardy's plants, they were selling them again at Malvern this year:-)

They are lovely Ba,I have a lot of plants in pots of varying sizes, would you recommend a geum for me to try, and is it fullsun, semi or shady please......going to a nice gc on saturday.....and maybe sunday.....:0)

Thanks Yorkie, I planted it with a purple tree lupin which has also grown a lot since last year, so hoping for a lovely show:-)

This one is mainly a chiloense type I think Pam. It's a cross between Mrs Bradshaw (red chiloense) and Rivale (water avens) It's sterile, probably explains the long flowering period. If you have a nice sunny spot, I would recommend this one, I don't do anything to it, just the normal things you do in the garden. Mrs Bradshaw is red, very easy and long flowering, but not, in my opinion, the beauty of this one:-)

I,m trying to get away from too many bedding plants inpots, especially with the impatiens virus and the poor summers, so hardy perennials may be an answer, I,ve heucheras already so at the weekend I,ll look at the geums....
One patio faces east and gets some sun until late afternoon and in the winter the pots can go in the double glazed gh,the previous two years were bad but last winter osteospermums and geraniums continued flowering so hopefully they will be ok

Love the colour Bornagain, I have 2 the red and yellow one I've never seen this one in our garden centres, is that what it's called Tangerine ????

Love the colour Bornagain, I have 2 one red and one yellow but never seen this one in our garden centres, must keep an eye open it's lovely.....

so pretty BA :o))

That is a beuty BA a lovely frilly skirt;0)

They really are beautiful BA, I just love that colour. Might have to invest in a few :-)

I love geums Ba....I bought 'Tequila Sunrise'...Its a bit like yours and is lovely too....I also bought 'eos' the other day..It had lovely limey leaves and is good for shade...Great plants aren't they?...:>)

Pam, geums really are the easiest of plants and totally hardy here, you may have to shop online for g. Totally Tangerine, I know Hardy's Plants have them, but if you google them there may be more sellers. Many geums like part shade too, it depends on the type. I have g. Rivale Leonards variety in my bog garden. It flowered its socks off last year. I think no geums like to dry out totally at the roots, but I would think an east facing border would be fine, I'm going to put some in my east border next week:-)

Stripes, you may have to shop online for this at the moment, try googling. Your red one is probably Mrs Bradshaw, one of g.totally tangerines parents:-)

Thanks Sandra, I love it:-)

Carole, I wish all the flowers were triples:-)

Willi...of course you will:-)

Hi motinot, I don't have any of the 'cocktail series' and haven't seen any in the flesh...they're american aren't they? They look fantastic in the pictures I've seen. look forward to seeing yours in flower..or do you already have a pic on? I bought Eos last year, lovely leaves aren't they? Mine only has three dainty little flowers on at the moment, bright orange, great contrast with the leaves. The man I bought my new geums from at Malvern (Malvern blog part 1) is putting a website up in the next few weeks. He is East of Eden geums and has lots of brand new ones he bred himself, I'm looking forward to seeing it:-)

I bet you won't be able to resist getting some more if he starts selling mail-order!

Have you got 'Mrs Moore'? She's my favourite. :-)

No Spritz, is she lemon? I've got more triple flowers on t.tangerine now:-)

No, a pretty palish-pink. I'll try to get a photo of her. She's quite frilly! :-)

By the way, I posted a photo of my white Geum - just for you!

Ba, because this is a country garden most of my colour comes from pots and tubs........I,m spending my birthday voucher tomorrow........it needs to be elastic I think.....:0)

I'll have a look Spritz, thanks:-)

Hi Pam\0/ with all those beautiful trees, you don't need so many flowers do you. Happy Birthday.....whenever it was:-))) I don't like them any more:-( ... Birthdays, not your Birthdays, just mine:-( I like vouchers:-))

It was at the beginning of may......began with a 6 and finished with 0........much better than turning 50 you get more perks........all I got at 50 was aches & pains..... :0)))

The trees are looking lovely in their spring greens and the ash was very much later than the oak leafing up so hopefilly we,re only in for a splash!

Lovely. Looks I need to get one of these.

Free bus pass Pam, there'll be no holding you now:-)

You should see her now Inverglen:-)

Only in Scotland BA.........I don' get a state pension until I'm 62!......
But I do get free prescriptions etc. And consessions, evenat b&q and the gc on certain days.....

Couldn't get a geum and got the last whirlygig osteospermum on the shelf, what a weekend!

Now I do like that, bought a couple this year, but not as nice as that.....

Pam, you've still got something to look forward to then. I've not seen a whirlygig osteospernum, only anemone...I'll have to google:-)

It is a special one Dd and never out of flower:-)

Oh yes I really like this one BA adding to favourites, such a lovely flower......................

I bought it from Hardys:-)
