Possibly Samobor (which I think is also 'Springtime', though my Springtime has a lot more variety in the colour of the foliage.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12107236871193698777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-86389161317138599422009-05-26T21:00:55.472-04:002009-05-26T21:00:55.472-04:00I sometimes use Cranesbill.

I have been known to call both "geraniums" at time, however the word does pop out from a different part of my brain, depending on which is which. I think they know. <br /><br />For your mystery cranesbill, I kept thinking "Samovar", but, of course, "Samobor" is the name. Perhaps I need more coffee?Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14527649631254016576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-63346863575834670842009-05-25T22:28:52.623-04:002009-05-25T22:28:52.623-04:00Oh, that I wish we could.

That said, I think "Geraniums" are some of the hardest working plants in the garden, absolutely must haves, in more than one variety. <br />Yours are lovely, even those in need of a name. If your "Geranium notagia" likes shade, it could be G. phaeum 'Samobor.'

So ...Well I think the Society has a ways to go yet. So far not one person has asked for Pelargoniums at the nursery I work at. And I've never seen the true geraniums in any nursery around here. So for folks around here, a pelargonium is a geranium and the only geraniums there are! So I think the Society should beef up their marketing budget. :-)Dig, Grow, Compost, Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10111150807638669133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-71830346941774182512009-05-25T19:44:23.192-04:002009-05-25T19:44:23.192-04:00You have some lovely "true geraniums".You have some lovely "true geraniums".Lisa at Greenbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-91320482314649496132009-05-25T19:37:02.377-04:002009-05-25T19:37:02.377-04:00I have a "Geranium notagia," it has soft velvety l...I have a "Geranium notagia," it has soft velvety leaves.
