Someone posted asking about a climbing, ivy leaf pel. I said I'd ask about
the one I know in Jersey. Nobody knows the name of it. Apparently it was a
present to my ex mil and 'came in a basket'. If we manage to propagate it
and can't get an ID I think Pelargonium Basketcase has a certain ring to it.
;-) Certainly, it seems to be a bit confused about what it should be doing.


I asked.

But I don't think you'll get many customers with a name like that!
Isn't there an equivalent in French? It would sound much more exotic!

Panier de pain lacks glamour, I think. ;-) We'll try to get it identified
but it could be difficult. It's been in that particular spot at least 15
years. I think somewhere on this computer I've got a photo of it but all my
photos seem to have waltzed off to somewhere else, unexpectedly. I'll do a
hunt and if I can find it and you trust me with your email address, I'll
send you a pic. It's quite remarkable to see and it does look terrific
against the white wall of the house, going up to just under a bedroom window
sill.
