    I bought 2 geraniums off of ebay! I'm so desperate for spring that I just had to do it! :D
    I ordered "Peppermint Twist" from Merle's Garden Center in Seward Nebraska. Has anyone heard of them?

    I'm not a geranium person but that one is different enough that I do like it.

    Hmmmmmmm, I just may have to go looking for that one. I always have a pot of red geraniums on the front porch and have a chocolate peppermint geranium on order so a pot of Peppermint Twist sounds like it belongs out there too.

    They got here today!! I'd recommend Merle's Garden Center in Seward NE!!!!! You know I can't do the photo thing but take my word for it :D They arrived in 4 1/2 inch pots with blooms on them from all the way across the country!!! Just in the nick of time too. Today has been overcast and dreary :( so they brightened my afternoon.

    Oh Kat, that is so sad :( My geraniums are like my babies! You can never have too many geraniums! Every year I choose a few to winter over in my office windows. Don't have room for all of them. I have a VERY hard time passing up any geranium. A few years ago I saved a little, sick looking burning bush from the Walmart dumpster. I think it's really going to take off this year!
