Bravo badcat!

Don't worry. Even if your DH doesn't care we are here to cheer you on.

Poinget, the thing I found that looked like a peony tuber turned out to be hardy geraniums. Remember the pic? (I think you do!) Pic. 1

I put it into a pot and it turned into this! Pic. 2

I put it in the ground and it went nuts! This is one week later (pic. 3)

It turns out that ai Had a lot of geranium maculatum that had been buried quite deeply. I had one large blooming plant that I thought was gorgeous. But I could not figure out why I had one huge plant that had not spread. Well, it had - they were just all buried.

They all look like this. I think that they are lovely, and I have been spreading it to the shadier areas of my yard! (pic 4)
