First bloom on Molineux


I planted Geranium maderense ‘Alba’ 2 years ago, I had the more common pink one before, it's an impressive plant! This white one got massive, maybe 6 foot wide and 4 ft tall but no bloom. This winter it toppled, the stem was probably 3 inches thick so I whacked some of it out but left one stem laying flat because I couldn't pull it out. Meant to come back and dig it and replace it with another one I have in a large pot, the foliage alone is worth growing it! Low and behold, the top finally bloomed! Hurray! Glad I waited. It's monocarpic so it will have to dug up once it's done after all.



Summer Song is pretty intense in color, flash went off for this shot.
