Got this lovely smelling Geranium a few days ago from a lady a few blocks from here. She is one of the participants of the Cuttings Route (Stekjes Route) in the Netherlands and Belgium. She told me it could help against mosquitoes. So I named her Mosy, gave here a little love, a new pot and now she stands on my nightstand (the Geranium I mean), because I'm the one who always gets stinged. F-ing 🦟
