Page 204 - Geranium, lovely flower, lots of different shades of reds and pinks, I do like them. Particularly the trailing ones in hanging baskets. They also bring back memories of my Dad growing them, nurturing them in his greenhouse, then planting them out in the garden, with military precision! This drove Mum mad, she would have liked a less formal arrangement, but he had been in the army for too long and just about everything in his life was neat and orderly!
The poor little plant in the photo is one that was left in a pot outdoors over last winter, but it survived and has bravely given me a splash of colour!

Lovely! My Dad was the same, having been in the Navy..he was a stickler for everything being 'ship shape and bristol fashioned'! I think it is a lovely quirk:)
Oh how lovely that it survived and tried so hard for youm that would make it my fav.
What a beutiful way for nature to show you her own little miracles. And what great stories about your parents :D
