I just love your garden.

Thank You

@DWJ202 And Thank You for the nice words!

I've really enjoyed your video and took detailed notes on the various geranium names. However, I've had no luck finding the Phaeum Mourning Widow anywhere on the net. Can you recommend a place I can order this?

[Zone6Bill]

@khuggens : I'm surprised you can't find them anywhere, as they are really not an uncommon variety, especially the way they reseed themselves.  I'd be more than happy to send you some seeds, even a division next year (2011) if you'd like. Let me know! Bill

Great video Bill. I have a lovely blue geranium - 'Jolly Bee', it is compact enough for a container and trails beautifully. You have a beautiful garden by the way.

[Zone6Bill]

@1976frank Thank you so much! I've GOT to get some new vids up and running, but Spring has come SO very early this year, it's been difficult to get a moment to sit and think! If this Spring is any indication of what summer may be like, it could be very interesting, to say the least. Thank you once again.

I have what I believe is g. macrorrhizum bevans variety. I dug it out of a flower bed in my front yard and literally tossed it carelessly along the fence line of my back yard. Some of the clumps ended up under some dense pine trees. Now, 5 or 6 years later, the plants are thriving, and spreading only moderately and I pay little attention to them! The ones which get 3-5 hours of sun daily bloom proliferately and are extremely aromatic! I highly recommend these to everybody! I am in zone 4.
