I guess I'll have to move it...  Although it seem rather happy where
it is, but I don't want it turning to mush over the winter.  Re:
the flower color, I looked at the photos that someone mentioned
at the Geraniaceae site, and mine are significantly darker, almost
like the shade of a Vinca bloom.

OK.  :)

I just love Geraniums.  I think I'm going to try and collect as many
as possible...  So far I have:

   G. 'Johnson's Blue'
   G. himalayense
   G. macrorrhizum
   G. macrorrhizum 'Bevan's Variety'
   G. maculatum
   G. phaeum 'Album'
   G. pratense
   G. pratense 'Plenum Violaceum'
   G. renardii
   G. sylvaticum 'Mayflower'
   G. x cantagbrience 'Biokovo'

Can anyone suggest some good, later flowering Geraniums that will do
well in my area?  I'm planning on getting some G. endressii, G.
grevilleanum, G. lambertii, G. nodosum (for my really shady areas),
and G. wallichianum.  Comments?  Free plants that you'll mail me?  :)
