Sybil Holmes ivy geranium
January 26, 2007
Author's note: I had missed Sybil Holmes
for quite some time and just the other day was wondering what
had become of the plant. On my plant terrace in the patio I have
many, many different ivy geraniums and they tend to send out their
'runners' or new growth branches, which sometimes cover a plant
or part of a plant. Just this week I noted Sybil Holmes buds protruding
out from under such a set of 'runners'. It is indeed a beautiful
eye-catching color and its beauty is supreme. I hope you enjoy
them as much as I do! --BT, Jan. 26, 2007

of a morning, I get up and go out to find in bloom a flower that
yesterday was not there."

"It is good to be alone
in a garden at dawn or dark so that all its shy presences may
haunt you and possess you in a reverie of suspended thought."
