| Wow .. I've never heard of Tulip Geraniums! Those are beautiful. "The Universe speaks in many languages, but only one voice. It speaks in the language of hope; It speaks in the language of trust; It speaks in the language of strength, and the language of compassion. It is the language of the heart and the language of the soul. But always, it is the same voice. It is the voice of our ancestors, speaking through us, And the voice of our inheritors, waiting to be born. It is the small, still voice that says: We are one. No matter the blood; No matter the skin; No matter the world; No matter the star; We are one. No matter the pain; No matter the darkness; No matter the loss; No matter the fear; We are one. Here, gathered together in common cause. we agree to recognize this singular truth, and this singular rule: That we must be kind to one another, because each voice enriches us and ennobles us, and each voice lost diminishes us. We are the voice of the Universe, the soul of creation, the fire that will light the way to a better future. We are one." G'Kar |

| I love the look of the tulip geranium. The flowers almost look like little rosebuds. |

| I like that tulip geranium. I have one which gives similar blooms in a pale pink. The lady who gave it to me called it the Popcorn geranium, as the blooms do resemble popped corn somewhat. These are heirlooms from back in the 1800s. |

| The blooms do look much more like popcorn that tulips! Popcorn geranium makes more sense to me. I bet the pale pink is pretty, I wonder if they come in other colors, too. This is the only nursery I've ever seen these at, and this is the only color they carry. |

| Must keep an eye open for these! Apparently there are so many petals in each flower, that they can not open so they stay curled in that tulip shape. |

| If I remember correctly there are several shades of pink and maybe a red tulip type? But if you search for them look under tulip, not popcorn! They do partially open. Rosebud types come in pink, red, white, and pink and white, called appleblossom. I 'm just talking about the upright varieties, here. They are also becoming very hard to find! Thirty years ago there were a lot more of the old fancy leaf types available than there are now. I used to get a printed catalog from Shady Hills. I think things have changed since Chuck retired. They used to have lots of fancy leaf, tulip, Rosebud, and unusual type pellies. |
