Found this in my Hemerocallis seedling patch :roll:
I get seedlings of G. oxonianum x 'Walter's Gift' all the time, but these leaves are pretty!

Nice. Looks pretty hefty for a volunteer. Let's hope for pretty blooms!

Yes! Those leaves are really pretty. I have some hardy geraniums too. 'Mourning Widow' has dark splotches at the indentations on the leaves & dusky maroon flowers. It is one of my favorites. The mother plant has died but a few seedlings I have been watching are due to bloom this yr :D

Renardii also is nice for it's felted textured leaves and white flowers.

And, sad to say, I think my 'Johnson's Blue' is not coming back this yr.

Thanks for sharing pictures of your "special" one.

Here's G Renardii. Though the flowers are the main attraction in this photo, you can still see the texture of those leaves. It is a nice addition even when not in bloom.
