Marlorena · June 2021

I like to walk around the garden with a highly scented rose bloom.. yesterday it was 'Jude The Obscure'.. irresistible..

I feel a sense of relief... I've been puzzled by this blue Geranium which I bought under the name of 'Johnson's Blue' which is a popular variety of long standing... my plant grows very tall and does not conform to what is stated about this plant.. I now believe it to be the meadow cranesbill Geranium pratense.. which grows to over 3 feet tall, and taller again in gardens rather than meadows.. mine is 4.5 x 3 feet.. I just measured it..

I'm very pleased with it, I love it..

It's a beautiful blue Marlorena and very imposing if it's 3ft tall!

Hi Marlorena
I had a word with the council about the identity of the mystery pink rose, and they said it was called 'The Lady's Blush', which turns out to be a DA rose, and it does have striking similarities to the one in the photo I took. Well done the council...another one on the list.
