Andrew's mention of Pelargonium cotyledonis reminds me that I forgot to mention a more or less geophytic Pelargonium that I grow in the garden: P. endlicherianum from Turkey, one of the few really winter-hardy species. It's blooming now and its brilliant pink flowers, which are fairly large, are a nice touch on the rock garden. In Colorado and the Southwest it can become quite a large plant and is popular in "xeriscape" plantings. It isn't a true geophyte, I feel, since at least here, it keeps some small leaves through the winter. The storage organ is an enlarged, hard rhizome that stays close to the soil surface. It's easily grown from seed, which is always available on the rock garden seed exchange lists.
