Geranium psilostemon

I’ve had fun today harvesting #seeds from #geranium-psilostemon for @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom Not a huge harvest Elaine but hopefully enough 🤞🌸🌸🌸

Oh Jacqueline thank you very much, I hope I didn’t put you to any trouble..they look great I’ve already done two lots from seed white and silver so these will be the icing on the cake...💗🖤💗 do you still have my address...

Not at all Elaine. I enjoyed it and wouldn’t have realised how fascinating the seed pods are otherwise 🤓 I think I do. If I can’t find it I’ll message you. Please let me know how you get on. 🤞 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

These seeds are so cool! I love their shape & tail. They remind me of umbrellas ☂️ spokes!

They’re fabulous aren’t they Kari. I thought they looked like candelabras 🙄😂 @KariSamuel

I should have explained, the “umbrella” pictures are of the seedheads once they have exploded the seeds and sent them off to live independently... 🌱🌿 @KariSamuel

I know... I love #seedcollection with these!

Oops! Sorry. Didn’t mean to offend @KariSamuel

Candelabras is a great description! xoxo

No you didn't Friend! All good! 😘

Phew! 😘 @KariSamuel

👍🏼 will do 😉

This is a fantastic #pink #geranium Delicate it is not and it self-seeds wildly, so may not be to everyone’s taste but I think it’s👌 💗

That's a fantastic colour @awomanonabike

Thank you Sue. It’s fab isn’t it 😊@churchfarmgarden

This one definitely shows up well! @columbiariver

I think it’s lovely

Beautiful 💗

Thanks Deborah. It can be a bit of a thug but it is easy enough to pull up if it lands in the wrong place 👍 @DeborahBanks

Thanks Marilyn 😊 @lovemygarden65

Wow I love this it’s going on my list....💗🖤💗

Just wow 💕💕💕

If you were nearer I’d dig you up some Elaine 💕 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

😃😃😃 @pelly

I did a bit of tidying in the garden yesterday and look what I spotted @sharonhayden #geranium-psilostemon

Ahha- that’s meant to be a dawning on me moment - although I think yours a further along than mine

They’ve been under a blanket keeping nice and warm... @sharonhayden

Potted up & ready for collection Jason...and there's a spare one for anyone else likely to be passing through South Lakes any time soon 😉😊 @Jasonsparkes1

Good luck with the interview and no worries if you can't make it. Life has a way of getting in the way 😉 😊 @Jasonsparkes1

That is a great place to have memories of. So beautiful 😍 @Jasonsparkes1

I guess your parents liked it too 😉😊

This is a Desert Island Disc of a plant. It grows to over a metre in height, doesn't need staking and has the most amazingly deep #pink flowers. And it #self-seeds freely 💗🖤💗🖤💗

Me too @Jasonsparkes1 . It's a beautiful colour Jacqueline 💓💞💓

Lovely 💖

I need this 💗💕💗💕

Well if you're ever passing South Lakes Jason, I usually have some to spare! @Jasonsparkes1

You too Jane, though you are a bit further away! @pelly

Thanks Sue 😊 @susanhumphrey333

If you don't have it already then you definitely do Julie!! @juliesgarden

I think it's an excellent excuse for a trip up to the Lakes Jacqueline 😁😁😁

Do Jason. You'd be very welcome. I might even put the kettle on 😂😂 @Jasonsparkes1

Great stuff. See you soon then Jane! @pelly

Wow! That's a stunner! Love the contrast between leaf and flower! 👌🏼💕💚 I bought 'Red Admiral' which is a Psilostemon (and not red!) I'm hoping it'll be as striking as this one! 🤞🏼
