50 year Old Geranium

This geranium my mother's friend Mrs. Heckman gave this to me and said  keep  it in the sun and  it will never quit blooming.It is a single bloom almost like a daisy.  I am so proud of it and have kept it in her memory.I was a just a new bride when she gave it to me.

It is hard to start a slip from, some times break it off and use  Take Root powder and then some times you have to lay a piece of the vine in dirt and it will sprout. It has to be in a South or West window in Winter.
