I have fresh Geranium seeds,[cransbill] I am not sure of the name but the flowers are more purple than blue. This is a very hard plant to collect the seeds from because as soon as the seed is ripe it is slingshoted by the bill away from the plant. It is not one you just go gather the seeds on like sweet williams, way cool to see. Anyway I do have some. LMK gayla

I have to agree with adam on richters, I've bought from them before, and their terrible, but they do refund your money with no questions asked, and I do mean no questions asked. You tell them the plant is dead they refund no questions asked LOL . Hobbs has some scented geraniums, there's a guy selling scenteds on ebay right now. You'll have to do a search on hobbs I can't remember the name, type in hobbs nursery it will come up. you can find good web sites through the gardenwatch dog on whom to buy scenteds from . I have 4 of them now, and trading for others. I have recently posted I was looking for some to trade. glad to find the new web sites, papa genos I read a couple of bad reviews on garden watch dog for them too. I think nothymeproductions or something like that has them, their also on the gardenwatchdog, looking up scented geraniums their web site came up. kathy_ann

Hi Toni, Go for one that's Fragrant ! not smelly. :) Well, that 'hospital', is a less sunny rest, in a humid spot they'd like. It's a couple of cement blocks over the soil in pleasant, needle tree shade. You're right. It is probably time to fertilize. :] Thanks for the support, I've been dithering and fretting. I decided to wait to take cuttings, till there was a little top growth. They're sprouting now. Scents to look for -rose [several] -citrus [ lime, lemon crispum, Robert's lemon rose...] -pine [pine, Dean's Delite is one]. The rose or pine, will have cut leaves. The chocolate is big and gangly, and fuzzy. :> It would probably work, -only the strawberry one, didn't. The scent isn't that chocolaty [chocopine?]. Might plant one in the ground for the summer. [Thanks other thread!] Quite a few plants are supposed to smell like chocolate. Well-Sweep-Herb-Farm is in NJ. They have a list by botanical names. They even carry P. 'mabel grey' [finicky], heavenly scent! and effective. On the supplier thing, most of the great greenhouses, are Mom and Pop places, facing rising costs, like heat, labor, and pressures to modernize, which unfortunately have to be passed on. Some are lucky enough to have had more than one generation. When there is a transition, figuring how to change to new ways can be painful. you've probably seen this yourself, a few times. I was lucky enough to have bought from, and received advice from, some of that older generation, new one too, they're really nice. So Logee's is special to me. They started over a hundred years ago. Besides being local [~2 hrs] The greenhouse is a wonderful place to visit, I'll post a thread link below. I feel I owe them a debt of gratitude for existing because it educated me on tropicals, especially fragrant ones. I was right there in florida, surrounded by the predictable, and didn't know how to find out about any interesting plants. The library had...There It Was: 'The Essence of Paradise'.........since then it's been No More Boring Plants! They do have a whole sunken solar green house with geraniums [pelargoniums] some with cool flowers. Yeah, the pots are small, and i can't get many, but you see why I want to buy there. However, with this dreadful addiction, :) i am always interested in other places too. Their's are usually a superior cultivar, especially with scenteds. They bred them, after all. Pelly page: http://www.logees.com/products.asp?dept=75 You can cut and paste this to the address row up top. Mealies Grrr ! Saw your purple passion problem. Stick a pot of 'true rose' scented geranium [ pelargoneum graveolens] next to it. And/or a lemon crispum, or lime, you'll love me forever, lol! A few pots of different cool scents, can surround the problem. Give miss mealy fuzz, just a puff, of 10 %white vinegar and water spray [an inch or two in the bottom of the bottle]. Throw a leaf in the pot. HA ! Take that ! you mealies! Don't forget the wall, window frame, and curtains- you can use straight alcohol spray. Or your own formula, made much stronger than plants like. Hate those insecticides too. I couldn't find superthrive around here. Finally went with the Dyna-gro. The plants jumped up! Those micronutrients really make a difference. Except for Mabel, scenteds aren't fussy. Use hardly any fertilizer, thin it out, 4-6x a season [skip winter]. They are from clivia country, but sunnier.
