What would we do without Johnsons Blue, so beautiful.

So many lovely geraniums at the moment isn't there Dawn, yes the garden would look bare without them, especially Johnsons Blue, have it everywhere :-)

Me too, lol, everyway you look there's one, just because I like them so much. I have a flower on one of the plants I grew from your seeds - its a pale purple :-)

Think I know which it is look on my pictures under perennials page 4 3rd row down 2nd along I think that may be the one, geranium pyrenaicum 'Summer Sky' ;-)

Hi Kathy, yes, think this is the one Kathy, although mine might be slighter paler.
BTW, how do you collect the seeds from geranium?
19 Jun, 2010
You have to get them at just the right time Dawn or they pop and are gone, the seed head or cranesbill where the flower was drys out and splits into segments that curl up like a coil and when ripe seeds pop out so watch for them going brown, the pyrenaicum seeds around anyway so don't bother collecting seed, I cut it right back after flowering and it just keeps coming back and reflowering.

You are so clever at this seed collecting Kathy, thank you, I'll make a note of this and I'll be watching them carefully.
