Hi Everyone

Not the best picture, but you can tell it only has two sick leaves left. It is a Geranium echinatum and it has spikes, quite pointy ones. Well, I thought it had been looking sick for about 4 months. The leaves were dying and where every I moved it too - sunny spots, shady spots - it wasn't getting any better.

Well the other day, I looked closely at the stem and thought, that doesn't look dead. So, finally I remember to google it and I found out it is summer deciduous wellllll of course - that is why it was dropping its leaves.

I realised that it is always a good idea, to read up on your plant especially if it is something unusal like this geranium.

Happy Gardening

Cheers Sandi
