 "It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under" to quote an old hit. I let the garden run wild as the year progresses with a bit of trimming here and there.
 The Geranium x oxonianum blooms prolifically in June with masses of pink flowers; some of a pale pink, some darker.



The flowers attract all kinds of bees, large and small.



  A few clumps have flowers with a curious mutation. I think it must be the same species because I have noticed the same phenomenon elsewhere among drifts of G. x oxonianum.
