The geraniums i brought indoors in September are getting leggy as they reach for the low light of winter. The leggy stems lose their green and become not exactly woody, but definitely "old." These old stems do not root, so when i take cuttings, i use only the young green tops.
My geraniums are of the nature to grow old--lose their leaves, get leggy, and have long, bare, tan stems.
I too am of the nature to grow old. I lose the bloom of youth; the body spreads horizontally; and the skin spots brown with age. I've lost my ability to reproduce.
Nevertheless, the old body still blooms with generosity, joy, and service to others.
