It came up rather easily so the root system must not be very robust. Odd that the cultivated 'Hocus Pocus' doesn't seem to produce seed. The calyx is not as colorful as the wild Geranium and it looks withered and seedless. I guess it may be a sterile hybrid. I wouldn't mind if 'HP' produced more seedlings.

They are beautiful - I'd have trouble getting rid of them, but then would probably regret it come next spring!katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03979577122006222781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695751.post-57275854207250975512007-07-29T09:57:00.000-07:002007-07-29T09:57:00.000-07:00Hi Pam,Hmmm, insects mimic plants so I wonder if t...Hi Pam,<BR/>Hmmm, insects mimic plants so I wonder if this plant mimicking insects? ;) I do think the color is very nice contrasted by the black seeds, green foilage and reddish stems. If it weren't a weed I would keep it.
