Doesn't triste have much more dissected leaves? -----Original Message----- From: Marcel Berteler <marcel@berteler.co.za> To: Pacific Bulb Society <pbs@lists.ibiblio.org> Sent: Fri, Jan 6, 2012 3:36 am Subject: Re: [pbs] Help identify a rhizomes Thanks for the various responses. It seems like the closest match would be the Pelargonium Triste although it does not seem to be as tall as mine is. who ever has rights to update the wiki, feel free to use the photos on the wiki.
