All you experts!!
buy them all
Wow!!! Louisa that is a great list. As mark says you could easily buy them all. Seriously though, they are all very good choices. Are there any in particular that interest you?
All the ones you've listed are beautiful. I've just bought G.c.'Purple Pillow' as I was so impressed on seeing it, and have a lot of the others. I'm sure you'd be pleased with all of them
But I think Jolly Bee is the one that's the same as Rozanne - is that right Mark?
I hope this helps in your selection

Louisa, do you plan to get a lot of geraniums? The ones that came in my Green Mountain CO-OP were very nice and the prices are great. They have a pretty good selection too. You'd need to get a tray of 32 to get the best price. I'll find the link for you.
Here's their link http://www.gmtransplants.com/index.cfm The geraniums are under the 32-cell perennials. You can mix and match different plants in the same tray as long as their the same cell size.

Macrorrhizum Variegatum has never reverted in my garden but I do not like it as it is not very vigorous and always grows too woody.
Phaeum Purpureum is actually Reflexum, and Louisa is a very nice plant.
Mark, that sanguineum album looks different than mine. I wonder if mine is something else?? The veins in the flower are darker... they almost look red. I'll get a pic tomorrow.
it could be that your plant is sanguineum 'Striatum' if it is pink instead of white.
Here is a photo of sanguineum 'Album' taken recently
No ... the flower is definitely white. I'll try to get a good picture today. I was thinking it looked just like a Kashmir White I started from seeds but I bought this one as sang. 'Album'.
it is possible that it is labelled wrong
Sue thanks for the link to the nursery. Great deals or what!!!! I haven't had the time to really go into it, have been busy landscaping for a client, and only popping in here now and again. Hope you manage to ID the geranium in question. Mark, thanks for the thumbs up and I really do think I'll be buying many of them. Psilo, quite a few plants revert back to green don't you think!! As for the stolen patronage re Blooms - I thought they had sold their nursery and no longer in operation. Or so my brother tells me.
