Wow, reminds me of the zonal geraniums (Pelargonium folks, not the 
true geraniums).

How freely does it seed?  What about other G. phaeum cultivars (i.e.
album)?  I'm really trying to build up my Geranium collection, but
I don't want them taking over everything.  Somehow I just ALWAYS need
more space.  :)

Thanks for sharing the picture with us, Graham.  It's true what they
say, "A picture is worth a thousand words."  In the future, to help
cut down on list traffic and such, would it be possible to send a URL to
a web page with the picture instead?

Thanks,

Chris
