| Silver bi coloured leaves of "Sammi Brouigham" |
It's been a while since I last wrote on this blog. August was busy with family visits and I was away for a lot of September visiting France and Ireland. In France we stay with relatives who own a property in a small village in Normandy and just along the road is a small nursery that I love to visit whenever we stay. Two years ago I noticed a beautiful zonal pelargonium with single white flowers and a dark pinky red blotch in the centre. This year I bought a plant and brought it home with me. I have no idea of the plants name, but it is quite beautiful. A small piece had broken off on our journey home, so I put this into a plug to root. and I put the plant in the greenhouse. When I came back from my week's holiday in Ireland I noticed that the plant was covered in rust! It was immediately cut back and the stems destroyed. I re-potted the plant and sprayed the stems with a fungicide. It is now growing well with new shoots. The small cutting is rooted and potted on and showing no signs of rust.
