Thank you for all your work with the seeds. Pelargonium bowkeri is a year round grower for me, and it flowers fall through spring, often enough both plants are in bloom at the same time, so hand pollination is easy enough. So likely sooner than next summer! Robert with more seasonal temperatures in SF at the moment.
