It
was a number of years ago that I first came across these superb
plants. It was at a trip to the annually held flower trials
in California, a place with a harsh dry climate, similar to
Australia. The breeding company was run by the Goldsmith family.
They treated us with great hospitality and had the best flower
trials out of the 10 or so companies we visited. Apart from amazing
snapdragons and very well performing impatiens, the plants that
really stood out to me were their geraniums. The reds especially,
were the truest reds I had ever seen. You could just picture
them on the balcony of a mediterranean villa.
Later,
I went to Europe and saw them again at the Dutch flower trials.
Improvements had been made to the plants habits, and there was
some amazing new colours. I remember saying to Joel Goldsmith,
"We've gotta get these plants down under". Finally,
some years later, thanks to assistance of a plant propagator in Australia
called Highsun, we've managed to bring to you what I believe
are some of the best geraniums the world has to offer.

These plants are available from Gardenworld Nursery in Melbourne, Australia. |
