Re: Hum..Now tours and Geranium

Kitty,

I've found that Blooms of Bressingham supplies this Geranium to nurseries.
You can look up nurseries in your state on their site at
http://www.bobna.com/stockists/default.htm . Unfortunately there is nothing
within 50 miles of here but maybe you will luck out.
