Flourishing

These pink and white splashed geraniums, that are growing in a flowerpot on my front porch, are still flourishing. They're in full summer mode now but it won't be long, the season of tender annuals is almost over. Perhaps not all has to be lost though, I've heard you can overwinter geraniums? Maybe after a little bit of research I might try it.

Last year I overwintered my tropical hibiscus plants with success but I ended up with a tree frog in the house which was probably clinging to one of those plants when I brought it in. My cat found the tree frog and chased it around the house. Poor little tree frog! I was able to rescue it and put it back outside but I was afraid it was too traumatized to be ok. I felt so bad! Needless to say I learned my lesson. If I overwinter I need to check the plants really well for little hitchhikers. And thank goodness it was just a tree frog and not a mouse!
