Re: garden shows and mosquito repellant plants

**f*@aol.com**

 There are several citrus-scented Pelargonium varieties (scented geraniums) on the market which claim to repel mosquitoes. I think they're bogus. 
I have been to the Cleveland flower show once, years ago, and found it pretty underwhelming. I get blurbage every year for a San Francisco show, but haven't made it.

Subject: [GWL] garden shows and mosquito repellant plants

I have one person get back to me with great garden shows to see in the US
beside Philly, Boston and Seattle..is there nothing more worth while going
to?  

The next question has to do with Mosquito repellant plants.has anyone heard
of this before and do they exist? We have a guy here in Panama that says
that he has planted these around a lake and I just don't believe they exist.
I don't want to say anything because I haven't lived here long enough to
argue, but I have still never heard of this.  Expert opinions?
