I bought 2 geraniums off of ebay! I'm so desperate for spring that I just had to do it! 
I ordered "Peppermint Twist" from Merle's Garden Center in Seward Nebraska. Has anyone heard of them?

I'm not a geranium person but that one is different enough that I do like it.

Hmmmmmmm, I just may have to go looking for that one. I always have a pot of red geraniums on the front porch and have a chocolate peppermint geranium on order so a pot of Peppermint Twist sounds like it belongs out there too.

They got here today!! I'd recommend Merle's Garden Center in Seward NE!!!!! You know I can't do the photo thing but take my word for it They arrived in 4 1/2 inch pots with blooms on them from all the way across the country!!! Just in the nick of time too. Today has been overcast and dreary  so they brightened my afternoon.

Oh Kat, that is so sad My geraniums are like my babies! You can never have too many geraniums! Every year I choose a few to winter over in my office windows. Don't have room for all of them. I have a VERY hard time passing up any geranium. A few years ago I saved a little, sick looking burning bush from the Walmart dumpster. I think it's really going to take off this year!
