Hi,

I've been trying to find geraniums but haven't been successful.
I've tried Lowes, Home Depot and Fairfield Farms Nursery but no luck.
Any suggestions would be great!!

Thanks!!

I want a Gardenia bush. Went to friends home the other night and she picked a gardenia from her garden. I smelled it and it's lovely perfume took me back to prom night and Easter corsages.

She said it is called Frostproof and available at a Leesburg Nursery at a very reasonable price. (Under ten dollars!)

I cannot wait to own one of my own.

Isn't it amazing and lovely how perfumes and music can take us back to a treasured memory.

Gracie, this plant compared to other Gardenia's, is pretty darn strong in frost months. I never covered mine in frost, and its blooming just great right now. Likes a lot of sunshine. But you can't go wrong in buying one!!
