Hi David -

Nice to hear from you.

As my teenage daughter would say, "What a DORK!".  Of course I mean
GERANIUM incanum!  Perhaps I can convinve you of how hard I've been
working lately, in order to mask the apparent onset of dementia!
;-)  Thanks for the warning about the two forms.  Do they come true
from seed?  Or do they seed at all?

I'll check with Silver Hills - they are indeed a well regarded
source for things extraordinary.

I too often forget about Robin as a source for plants.  She is the
dear lady of Geraniaceae locally, but she and I do not cross paths
as much as I'd prefer.  We had a lovely time at her home at the end
of a garden tour several months ago.  I have apparently loaned my
copy of her catalog, so I just rang her up now and left a message.
It'd be wonderful to have any excuse to get back and see her
beautiful borders.

Thanks for straightening me out! ;-)
