[Vwoolf] Geraniums at Monk's House

[Regina Marler]

Dear Elisa,

What a wonderful project! I have a geranium grown from a second-generation cutting of what was probably a geranium bought by Leonard for Monks House. A friend clipped it from the mother plant in the early 70s. It’s red.

All best,

Regina

They have been there every time I have visited; Cecil and Jean have them growing in their windows as well. I can't believe that neither I nor my students captured them.
