Anyone Know?
« on: June 27, 2009, 11:14:04 »
Does anyone know what this plant is please?

It comes from a packet of mixed house/greenhouse plants and I have no idea what it is.

It looks like a hardy geranium to me, but that isn't likely from a mix of greenhouse/house plants.

Looks a bit like a corn cockle but not in that colour.
Could be one that should not have been sent out yet.
You know one of them trial plants.
Lucky you

Not so lucky me I'm afraid, landimad

After being all excited when it first opened and I took the picture, the flower lasted for less than half a day - as did subsequent ones.

I've now binned it. :'( :'(

Shame its gone to the garden in the sky now. I do love the colour and have to wait and see if it comes on the market.
