random geraniums

I had no idea these plants were so popular. What's up with that? We have an entire greenhouse dedicated to them, and most of them are not that unusual...though there are some I find myself looking at and wanting to bonsai.

Did find one that is very delicate and smells like..well, it says 'apple nutmeg' but it's sorta more like..sorta like mulled cider. Sorta. Enough so that it makes me think of autumn.



..no really, that's it...I said it was random...

They had some lemon; I wasn't impressed.
Since I'm growing a chocolate mint plant, a chocolate mint geranium very much interests me. I'll have to ask if they ever get those in.

(In Other News, I'm scoring some free yarrow and plain-ol-mint tomorrow night. Woo! but I really need to move my freebie irises, and I'm not sure where they'd actually be happy...poor things.)

Hey perhaps you will know. My hibiscus tree is loosing all its leaves. It's getting plenty of sun. I don't think I'm overwatering. It does have some wood chips on top of the top soil. It's in a pot in the corner of my patio. It's in sun most of the day. I'm at a loss. I don't want to loose it.

if your greenhouse has it, grab some of the lime-green variety of nicotiana. They smell like jasmine after the sun goes down. They look very pretty mixed with the apple blossom pink variety.
