Hurry Spring and Summer
It was a gray day and didn't get as warm as they said it would. So, I thought I'd post a spring picture. I love geraniums. I have grown many different colors, but I think this is my favorite one. It seems to bloom more than the other colors. You get such a bang for your buck and anyone can grow them. I made many cutting from my geraniums using rooting hormone powder and had a 100% success rate. Also, I have begun overwintering them in the barn. I cut them back and water them sparingly throughout the winter then bring them out in spring and they all come back.

I guess I'm in that low percentile of those that try and try to grow them and can't. They grow for a while and I do try and baby them, but then they die. Maybe I'm over watering, under watering, who knows. My mother can take a small piece, root it, and have a huge plant before long! They are pretty!
I love too "geranios" (or "cardenales").
I have pink, red and white.
Greetings from Santiago de Chile.
I like the new colour of your blog :)
Love your post...it makes me think of spring, and hopefully it's just around the corner ;)
Greetings to you Maria, and Josephine and Theresa! Theresa, make sure your geraniums are getting full sun amd water when the soil feels mostly dry to the touch. I probably water and feed mine too much.
Honestly! How do you find time to do all of this? You have so much energy!
