Quite a contrast on this one, with its dark leaves and pink flowers.

This will have to go on my wish list. Very different, lovely colouring.

I see you like hardy geraniums; so do I and this one is a must have.

Absolutely, Rbtkew. I think I may soon qualify as a National Collection owner!!!! LOL.
The trouble is that I keep spotting another which is yet again a 'must-have'! Just planted G. pratens 'Hocus-pocus' and another 'Spish-Splash'. Several more in the greenhouse growing to a decent size before finding a space for them....

Geraniums are fantastic value and this one seems to be a real winner, flowers and foliage, as Homer Simpson would say 'What more can you ask?' Except he was talking about doughnuts, lol.

I think that 'Hocus-Pocus' will be, as well - chocolate leaves, should have blue flowers with a white 'eye'. My all-time favourite, though, has to be 'Rozanne'...she flowers for months and her blooms are so pretty. :-)

Splish-splash was another of my recent Ebay buys, Spritz! No flowers yet though.

No - not for a while. But it will be worth the wait! :-)

This is lovely - i had a dark leaf one last year a bit simalr to this but it does'nt seem to have come back this year :-( oh well a good excuse to look out for this instead.

mmmm hard say for sure Spritz is'nt it...this one does look darker than the pic i have seen, but then it is hard to tell from a picture on ebay is'nt, will have to see what mine is like when it comes. i don't mind either way to be honest either would be lovely. :-)
