Where can I find a female plant?Here all the plants for sale are male.Didn't uproot my plant when I moved as it was the wrong time.Now I cann't even get a cutting here as everybody has the male form.

This is an ongoing problem.

I did see one in the botanc gardens in Dublin a few years back. I asked for cutting material and they said - "No"

I was in the gardens last month where I saw the bed where it grew was re-done and it was gone

Mark, it might be worth trying the British Pelargonium and Geranium Society, who take an interest in Erodiums as well.  You'll have to google them as I can't remember the address.

They don't seem to have much of a website, but I found this e-mail contact:

john.morbey@bpgs.ork.uk    but surely that should be 'org' not 'ork'...

John and Mark, .. here I am again with   http://www.thepags.org.uk/ggroup.html    which may be the old society's new name or a new society altogether but I see info on Erodiums on the home page...  I hope this may be of some help to you.
