Found this beauty in the woods, it stays green all winter (east TN)and
it goes down in the 20's and teens a lot with this staying green. Last
fall I had dug up one (I didn't dig it up until I saw I had more of them
in the woods close by.) I thought the one now in captivity was doing
well until today I took a walk in the woods to see how the others are.
Seems like the leaves on the captive one are severely stunted!
Otherwise looks healthy and getting ready to bloom. I am going to plant
it in the garden, I just didn't find the right spot yet. Looks like it
needs filtered light. Does well with some direct sunlight but not too
much. Here is a link to some pics:

Hmm, I used to be able to post links without them being broken so I
guess you will have to cut and paste it.

Although they appear different, both the woodland and potted plants
appear to be a form of Geranium. These would be "true" Geraniums and
not Pelargoniums, which are commonly called "geraniums".

On the other hand, they might indeed be Pelargonium tomentosum (t
geranium).
