Geranium 'Orkney Pink'

Its a lovely colour pretty

it is a really lovely one Morgana, i have not seen it before...it was a must have when i spied it a few weeks ago....it just few off the shelf and landed in my shopping trolly completely by accident... i just dont know how this keeps happening lol

youve got some lovely flowers in your recent pics ang, such lovely bright colours and a few unusual flowers to, very nice :o)

I do you can join Phill and my club if you like Phill is another gardener who use to be a nurse I said we are a pair of plantaholics and asked her what would the hopital doctors prescribe for it she laughed and said theres no cure he he he so you can join our club if you like but as you see there is no medication that will cure us.

lol... i though i was already a founder member of PA anoymous, it's a bit like AA... you know.... my name is Angie..and I'm a plant-aholic... lol and thanks San, it helps if you have a plant buying adiction you know....careful coz it's catching lol.... come autumn when i have all my seeds i shull send you a few... think i know just what you like..... how are you with seed sowing?.... if you like that idea...just PM your address....you too Morgana... wont be long before i have some seeds. to send out ;-) don't know if this geranium sets seed or not,,,, but i have others that do...already have loads of seeds drying from 'Splish Slash', 'Summer Snow', and my lovely little Viened one, my Plenum is only from root division but it is spreading madly at the moment so will have some root off-sets of that later in the year..it looks like 'Black beauty' is going to set seed, but not sure if seed will come true from this variety...first year with this one, but i will be having a go myself..... poppies the big opium ones single and peaonie flowered vareities...seed is ready for them, let me know xx

ive just started with my little grow house, not grown anything from seed apart from my wild flowers which were great, im doing a couple of cutting at the moment jen and looking ok, well still alive so guess there are roots under them lol, im trying to dry out some poppy pods to get the seeds then can give them ago, its all new to me growing your own, so i will see how i go on, never know i may have some plants to share myself one day, fingers crossed :o))

This geranium is wonderful...

i have lots of poppy seeds San, and they are one of the easiest to grow from seed, a really good place to start..it really is a case of throw the seed where you want them to grow and let nature take it's course... if you want me to send you some just send me your postal address on PM. thanks Motinot i am really pleased with this one.

thanx for addvice jen :o))

Hi Ange...just wanted to ask about the scale of the flower to the leaf size...are the flowers larger than other geraniums or are the leaves smaller than most geraniums...lol.???

neither,,,, they are both very small Lori,, the flowers measure approx 1- 1.5cm accross, and the leaves are even smaller... it is a charming little plant, that has spread out nicely since its arrival... but a rather nice neat clump measures approx 4" tall x 12"wide and it is still spreading,, so i would class this as a spreading ground cover variety... and one i would whole hartedly recommend.

Thanks, Angie... will have to look for this one.

Good luck with finding one... i am very pleased with mine, i am sure you will love it... it has been flowering non stop for about 6 weeks now... and no sign of stopping :D
