Since I have had such good luck with my Johnny Jump-ups, I have decided to expand my flower growing attempts.
I walk by the flower shop on my way to German class and kept seeing these lovely geraniums. Yesterday I finally succumbed to temptation and bought two pots. (In case you wonder, the most common geranium color is red, but I chose a lavender one and a hot pink one.) Other than the fact than I can recognize geraniums when I see them, I know nothing about them. I did a little research about them on the ‘net and found out that they are supposed to be pretty easy to grow. In fact, I think I saw a website that indicated that geraniums are one of the most popular “Flowers for Dummies.”
Tomorrow I will be buying some potting soil and replanting them. Then we will see if geraniums really are flowers for the gardening-challenged.
Steve says:
I’m glad you succumbed. It can’t hurt to try growing them and they sound pretty.
Personally, I need “flowers for dummies”. This was my first year with a yard to I have tried planting flowers all over, but so far at least there has been mixed success at best.
