I just posted this under your geranium post:

I've got some pelargonium echinatum seeds almost ready, they are perennial but not hardy below a zone 9/10 here in the states but if you'd like a few I'd be glad to send them to ya.

Hi Mark,
Not a local Wildflower catalog, but Cape Seed has 6 different geraniums available. Here's a link to their catalog

Can I ask a quick geranium question?? I started some G bohemicum from seed this year, it is flowering now. Are the flowers normally very small (maybe about the size of a thumbnail)?? The plant itself is still not too big and I really hadn't expected to see flowers this year, but it's loaded with them!!
Thanks,
Debbie

the flowers should be about 3/4 inch across. mine are really small also and they are this years seedlings. I knew they were supposed to be biennial. I would cut all flowering stems off a couple to see if they are bigger next year.

here's what a catalog says
Blue flowers with feathery veins. Crinkly hairy sticky leaves. Ht.60cm. Sun or semi-shade.
Flowers May/August. Self seeds. Also known as Geranium 'Orchid Blue'

another one says
A biennial, producing a good show of blue flowers through the summer months. Requiring a sunny well drained site, where it will seed itself freely.
