Years ago, brother Tim and I were very involved in the Northwest Fuchsia Society. Part of that involvement included working on plant sales and selling our own plants.

One year, member Sally Abella let me loose in her yard with a trowel to gather plants for the annual fundraising plant sale. She had a well-established yard with some very interesting plants, many of which were volunteering around generously. Geranium nodosum was one of those plants. I ended up with a few that didn’t sell, and some other plants, as well, that will get counted later in Plant-A-Day.

This is an elegant plant, with shiny, maple-like leaves and pink flowers that never overwhelm. It seeds around a bit, but in my yard is not invasive. However, I shared it with a friend for a new garden and this plant went berserk!

I don’t have any 2020 plans for these plants, other to enjoy them wherever they volunteer in the garden.
