Pelargonium cordifolium http://www.marksgardenplants.com/pelargonium-cordifolium.html

What words were funny sounding? Evert says I say snowdrops as snudrops.

I really need to get better organised to get you two a few goodies into the post.

Oh, cordifolium. Looks beautiful;)

Yeah, I listen that radio conversation too. Heheh, and I agree with Evert, when you say "Snowdrop" it sounds like you would say "Snupdrop"...heheh
heheh, When you said "Lovely flower" It sounds like you would say "Lovely flora"..heheh.And then "I do like floras"..heheh.

heheh, yes, it would be great, thanks!
