Does anyone recognize this plant? My husband bought it years ago because it was supposed to be "hearty", and it is. I like it a lot, but can't find any pictures online that look similar to what we have. I'd like to be able to give a name to one of our cooler plants. Thanks!

This is a type of Geranium. "Vancouver cenntenial". And by the picture it looks like it could use a little more light and a little more fertilizer, to really take to blossoming. An excellent house plant or good for boardering or just a container. It's in the Geraniaceae family. Its Blooming Range is late Spring to early Fall, falls best in 7-11 hardiness zones. Watering should stay normal to moist, the plant should receive a bit of full light, but not too much. Gerneally speeking it is a pretty hardy plant, and a nice one to have around.

any Q's?
