I bought this darling little plant at the Crystal Springs Rhody Garden plant sale, ran home and looked it up on DG, but there is no such thing! At any rate, it has beautiful little purple flowers, or I should say, had. Would it bloom again if I removed the spent flowers, or is it done for the year? thanks

I wish you had a picture. Is it a wild geranium? Sorry, I don't know the botanical names of anything ; ). Mine is nearly done blooming, but there are one or two blossoms left.

Yes, Katymac, that is it and your link answered my question: I guess it wouldn't help to cut off the seed pods in hopes of another round of blooms..... too bad. it was so pretty.

Thanks again, Katymac and JoieM. We just got a digital, so I will soon be able to upload photos. Have to figure the darned thing out first, though,,,,lol..
