More cranesbills and Discovery apple

I have picked the Discovery apple and managed to have five that were not spilt due to periods of wet and dry.  I can't remember if I have already recorded my thoughts on this apple.  It looks pretty, is an early eating apple with a very short shelf life.  It is not in the best spot I will admit - it's too dry.  It was my first apple in - no soil profile dug and no research into the apple either.  I made mistakes with my shaping and cut it off and started again!!  It does produce but fruit ends up being stewed along with windfalls from other apples because of the spilts and the short shelf life.

I have been very remiss about not recording planting locations nor names of my newest acquisitions.  I'm hoping I have all the details in my phone notes.  Mayflower, is blue and close to Rocket's grave - it has flowered but didn't photograph.  Ann Folkard is in the Wintersweet garden - very pretty.  She is winding her way through things.  Geranium psilostemon also in the Wintersweet garden hasn't flowered and possibly is in the wrong place.  I saw this geranium everywhere in the UK and just fell in love with it.  These three came from a Trademe seller in Christchurch bellbird01.

The rest I sourced from Rose Cottage nursery at Ohai.  Not all are named and I have only photographed  Raspberry Heritage seedling (also in the Wintersweet garden close to Ann Folkard.  Dark Reiter is not doing well - I have shifted it once already and hasn't flowered.  At the moment it's on the edge of driveway.  In Corduroy's garden have an unnamed pink G. sanguieum near the pink 'Dignity' rose,  Geranium pratense 'Splish Splash', and two blue taller ones.  In the pear orchard I have put a soft double pink near the 'Mutablis' rose cutting and the old pump.
