"Bold Carnival" - Basic Zonal Pelargonium |
April has been a month
when plants have been arriving through the post and personally delivered.
. Earlier in the year I ordered from
both Scented Geraniums of Northern Ireland and Fibrex Nurseries, Nr.
Straford-upon-Avon. Both these nurseries
plants arrived in the same week, both well packaged and are now growing well in the greenhouse.
Another package with a
plant inside arrived last week – a complete surprise. I found a beautifully packaged zonartic from
Liga in Ireland. The plant is not yet
named – there is a competition to find it’s name, which is all very
exciting. Thank you so much Liga – I
will love it and treasure it. I am looking forward to knowing its name when it
is decided. I’ll keep you posted. Liga has a blog page which has her wonderful
photographs of pelargoniums. She also
runs a dedicated Facebok Group - Pelargoniums. At home and garden, species and varieties - for pelargonium enthusiasts
Surprise Zonartic from Liga |
Before Liga’s surprise parcel arrived, I had a wonderful afternoon with Anne, a Swedish pelargonium enthusiast who was over here on a visit to stay with her cousin Marika, also Swedish but living here in the UK. Anne very kindly brought me two zonartics and a Stellar. These are Vilda Tilda, Lara Marjorie and Sune Tryg. Thank you so much Anne. It was a lovely afternoon chatting’pelargonium’, taking a few cuttings for her to take home. I will update you on all these new varieties.
