-- [ From: Dale Neil * EMC.Ver #2.5.3 ] -- Hi All. I've been looking and drooling over some of my seed catalogs trying to decide just what I want to buy this year. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with something that has been in the Thompson & Morgan catalog the last few years and now has appeared in Parks catalog. It's called G.pratense striatum 'Splish Splash' . A nice looking hardy geranium with mauve-blue speckles on pure white petals of 1 1/2 inch blooms. Hmmm.... I was wondering how easy that one was to start from the seeds . (I can order plants or seeds... last year I waited until Feb. to put in my order and they were already sold out of the seeds) You only get 8 seeds for 4.49 so I was hoping to get atleast one plant started from them. Also (this doesn't have to do with geraniums directly but indirectly it does) in the Nichols Garden Nursery catalog there is a Bergamot "Rose Geranium" listed. They said it was discovered in Canada. Anybody have that and does it really have a scent of Rose Geranium? I don't know why I would want it since I have a number of varieties of Rose geraniums but <sigh> I am strangly attracted to the idea of having :-). What is anybody else looking to get this year?
