Sadly I must join the Naff-Geranium Club. I usually set seed
(collected from my own plants) soon after Christmas. The geraniums
from seed are always much slower to flower than those from cuttings or
plants saved from last year. This year's crop are healthy and strong
but not a sign of a flower yet.


We keep our geraniums in the house during the winter, now that I don't have an
over heated office for them. The geranium that we have had for about a decade
has just started to produce flower buds. The smaller ones have been in flower
for some weeks.


That's what I used to do but didn't last winter. They last for years.
(Actually, I have just thought of something - I am really talking about
pelargoniums - sorry if everyone else meant 'real' geraniums ie the
pink-flowering ones with dark pointy leaves, not the hairy-leaved plants
that I keep. If they did, I have been wasting your time. Apols).
