Rachel's Journal

Hi Rachel as you probably know there are very few double hardy geraniums. I would put my money on G.pratense' plenum Caeruleum',  perhaps you could Google it and see what you think. Can't see the leaf very well in your picture should be palmate with quite serrated edges .

Pretty flower

never saw that one before,reminds me of a narcissi only different colour,very pretty

Thanks, Elizabeth. I was uncertain with my google results so I will check the name against my RHS books tomorrow. Appreciated.

What i will get for its name???:)))

An award of Merit Liga and a year's supply of further questions from all of us!

would full marks do Liga? Well done. Funny this is one I ordered last year but it has not yet  flowered. It is interesting that the flowers appear to flop while most of the pratense are quite erect. How about the flowers on your one  Rachel?

Wonderful, Liga. That is exactly it! You do win a free year's supply for new questions :D

Elizabeth, the flowers on mine are quite erect.

Elizabeth, I just read on Liga's link that in shade the blooms of this Geranium tend to flop. This is because they grow taller in shade. They bloom on shorter stems in full sun and don't flop.

Thanks Rachel most interesting. Love learning more about plants.
