So right...so right! Not much left if you get rid of the things you cherish
....

I personally think you can live without the scent of P gibbosum :-))))) but
is is something to take note of! Especially when yellow-flowered Ps don't
grow on trees! Aren't these gouty stems wonderful? Mine climbs for me and
is a good two meters tall...

Good luck at the show, please tell us ALL about it! Gee..no one has P shows
here in Sweden.....at least not Pelargonium/Geranium shows...... tihi!!!!

All the best,

Ingrid
