yes me too - very nice

8 Jun, 2012

 

Yes it's a geranium

8 Jun, 2012

 

Heehee! I know that, Hywel! ;))))
I was meaning the next bit...silly me...have to reword that title...lol!

Thanks Suzy and Paul! :)
They're all fab, though...don't you think?

8 Jun, 2012

 

I agree with Hywel :))))).....joking aside - not sure which though - I'm sure someone will know

8 Jun, 2012

 

It's got kind of buttercup looking leaves, Scottish...

8 Jun, 2012

 

Hmm...Spritzhenry is your woman for ID on geraniums. the mottled looking leaves are probably what will give it away. I'm thinking possibly 'jolly bee'.

8 Jun, 2012

 

I think the leaves help identify - lots of different leaves on the ones I have.
Have you put a pic on the ? page yet - if you do take a shot of the leaves too!
I've 3 blue ones - the closest is Johnson's Blue - there is a picture of the leaves of this one on my garden page.

Thanks girls :)

I will do a bit more research...slightly scared of the questions page...
...although there has been a bit of an uprising there, lately...

8 Jun, 2012

 

It very well could be, J...it is quite blue!

Mine never had a label, so it could be some French cultivar which was never marketed abroad...

8 Jun, 2012

 

Are you daring me, J????!! LOL!!!! x

8 Jun, 2012

 

Yes, go for it Karen...what's the worst that could happen ;) Brace yourself, put on your best armour...off you go!

8 Jun, 2012

 

Lol! Maybe tomorrow...I'm feeling too good to be harrangued by the head teacher/s, right now... ;)

8 Jun, 2012

 

It's not that bad is it? Haven't looked at the question pages for a couple of days what have I missed?
I'll be spending the night at work on my phone trawling the questions to see what I've missed!!

8 Jun, 2012

 

You'll only have a problem if you live outwith the UK...and the RHS guidelines, Scottish... :S

Am there!! And, me, being me.....you know the rest...

But do trawl...there has been mischief and mayhem! :)

8 Jun, 2012

 

Oh dear...have I just got myself deleted??

8 Jun, 2012

 

LOL!

8 Jun, 2012

 

Nothing worse than being deleted!!!! :o)

8 Jun, 2012

 

I'm sniggering, girls...but slightly apprehensive! :D

8 Jun, 2012

 

I'm sniggering a bit too! ;)

8 Jun, 2012

 

LOL :D I'm sorry ... I couldn't have read it properly :o)

8 Jun, 2012

 

Well, whatever happens....

...I'll be back.................!! ;))))))))

8 Jun, 2012

 

What I want to know is....have you checked out my suggestion yet, because you know I went to a lot of trouble to google that for you Karen (huffs dramatically, exit stage left)

8 Jun, 2012

 

Karenfrance..it was nice knowing you ! Lol..who dares wins...sometimes ! :o)

8 Jun, 2012

 

lol....stirrers!

8 Jun, 2012

 

"B****er the lot of you!", she said smiling, sweetly...
...questions page tomorrow...

...just you all wait and see!

...although, it's only a geranium...will find a better question!! ;)))

8 Jun, 2012

 

Go for it girl..can't wait :o)

8 Jun, 2012

 

Snigger...
...now I have to come up with a good question, Bloomer...

Wait and see... ;)))

8 Jun, 2012

 

I can tell you NOTHING about Acer 'Red Wine' so don't even go there! lol

8 Jun, 2012

 

did you find out Karen, it is a nice one....

8 Jun, 2012

 

Have you not googled it, Karen? ;)

Well, SL...I've been up since 6am...I've trawled millions of pages and photos on google, so, I defy anyone to find it there...
...unless they've already got a sneaking suspicion...

And I've been through the GoYpaedia...

There's nothing with six, pointy little petals!

So, here goes...nothing ventured nothing gained...

9 Jun, 2012

 

LOL! Just posted it, J...:/ ;)

9 Jun, 2012

 

ooh,going to have a look ! :o)

9 Jun, 2012

 

Copped out, Bloomer...stuck with the geranium... ;)

9 Jun, 2012

 

..and a very pretty picture it is too,Karen ! ..I await replies with interest..:o)

9 Jun, 2012

 

I am now the world's expert geranium googler, Bloomer... ;)
...and I can't find a single one which has six petals and these wee pointy bits...

9 Jun, 2012

 

There was a similar request last year,Karen..and a lot of difference of opinions,on whether one was Johnson's blue or not..not sure if we did actually find the right name..but a lot of comments about it..seems to be some so alike,and think it's the leaf that is what most went by....a new name for you now then,Geranium Googler ! Lol

9 Jun, 2012

 

Lol! I think I've looked at about three million photos of geraniums today...and half of them were Johnson's Blue...I probably should change my name, Bloomer...
I'm goggle eyed! They're all different!!!

True blue, clear blue, lavender blue, blue flushed with pink, purple blue and dark blue...even the flowers are not the same shape...

So, yours might well be just what it said on the label, J! Post a piccie!!:))

9 Jun, 2012

 

Away to look!!!

9 Jun, 2012

 

Brave ladies......hope you get some good answers. :D

9 Jun, 2012

 

Well, J did!!!

9 Jun, 2012

 

Ah, well that's a long story...lol!

9 Jun, 2012

 

pm in the morning! ;)

9 Jun, 2012

 

Hello \o/ Bit late but I agree with Karen on Jolly Bee because of the leaves but I think that's been re-named now to Rozanne after DNA testing found they were the same plant ;O))

21 Jun, 2012

 

Have been tending towards that one, myself, Annie! :)))

Jolly Bee sounds more like something to do with pirates!!!

22 Jun, 2012

 

I think we are stuck with Rozanne now or is It.....''Roxanne you don't want to put on the red light''! Gawd, I hope you remember Sting and the Police Lol! xxxxx

22 Jun, 2012

 

LOL! That's EXACTLY the image it conjures up for me!

Wonder who got to choose that one?? lol! :))) xxxxx
