Hi: Please go to http://www.geocities.com/RainForest/2822/austger.html to read the wonderful article about geraniums in Australia provided by Joan Steele. I found the history fascinating. It would be fun to learn of the history of these plants in other parts of the world, too. Click back to the IGS homepage to access the pictures she has supplied too.
