Poor Woman's Orchid

My 8 yr old geranium and I have had a relationship of complete & perfect harmony. On Jan 25th, on a clear, cold night her branches broke. In the morning I found a twisted mass of leaves & flowers all over the floor. I looked for the culprit, Mama Kitty, who accidentally may have been locked in the store overnight, but found no cat.

I think it just grew so fast one night, that it finally became too top heavy.

My husband said, "How can you be that old weaving lady with the giant geranium now?" salting my wounded heart. I gave what's left a little Rapid Grow cocktail.
