This Geranium has been in my garden for over three years, and at last it has flowered!

Thanks. I've been reading up on her since she flowered. She's a cross between two others. :-) I wonder why she took so long to flower, though?

Apparently some do, have just had a visit from a chap who has opened for 10 years in Hampshire he has a stunningly beautiful garden, smaller than ours, but beautifully planted, he inspired us to open ours when we saw how small his was.......a great collector of HGs (the Blueberry Ice man!!) left me a list of HGs that he recommends, so more money to find lol

Hey - where's the list? lol.

I think you have them all lol!! must get a list from you too.....

I could do that for you - I've been typing a list of the ones in bloom for tomorrow's visitors, so I could add the others that aren't in flower if you'd like me to?

Please Spritz, that would be most helpful, took delivery of Splish Splash (lost it last year) Derrick Cook, Patricia, and Brookside.

Already you have two that I haven't got - Derrick Cook, and Brookside! However, I found two new ones today to add to the list. ;-)

Patricia is a wonderful colour - you'll enjoy her.

Barbara, do your geraniums cross germinate? I have lots of shades of pink some of which are not very good so they went on the compost heap! The petals were very poor.

Yes - I inherited lots and lots of what I call 'anonymous pink ones'. I've been waging war on them for two years now - but there are still some more to get rid of. It's the G. endressii and G x oxonianum ones that create hybrids. :-(
