Today, Sept. 5th, I'm listing several Rosebud Geraniums for sale in FB Marketplace. It's been a very, very hot summer in the greenhouse and it's taken until now to have plants ready for sale. Please check out FB Marketplace. Keyword Search is "rosebud geranium" :)

This is a regular (not rosebud) geranium I purchased from a garden center over 12 years ago. Several years ago it produced 2 different flowers - the original coral flowers and a new coral and white flower. This new flower is called a "sport" or mutant and each flower is a different coral and white design:)
This year I have rooted cuttings taken from the mother plant. I can't wait to see if the cuttings produce both flower colours on the same plant as well🌸

More plants moving from the house into the greenhouse ....🌸

Spring has arrived and the greenhouse is warm enough now, through the night, that I can move all my Rosebud Geraniums out from under lights in their "Plant Room" into some natural sunlight. The top row, under this set of lights, shows a few of the heirloom Red Rosebud Geraniums I'll soon have for sale🌸.
