My Day 23 plant was a splurge I made at a little nursery that used to be down in Fremont. Brother Tim and I went there about four years ago, just before they closed for good. I found this little scented geranium and had to have it. I’m not sure of the species or the scent, but I know I like the foliage and the flowers. I’ll have to research to see if the tag is still around or if I can find it online.

Here are photos through the last few years:

I’ve taken lots of cuttings from this little plant–they don’t root as easily as typical “geraniums,” but a few of them have taken. In spring, above the original plant, a flight of the fancy, lacy flowers appears and can last for six weeks or more.

My 2020 goals for this plant in 2020 are to repot the original plant after flowering into a larger container and make sure it gets watered and fed appropriately. At the same time, I’ll take a few more cuttings from it and see how I do at propagating it in summer, rather than autumn when I’ve tried before.
