Oregon geranium is a soft-leaved spring perennial, a woodland edge and oak savanna species that is luminous in filtered light.

Pollinated by small bees and flies, this May-July blooming wildflower provides both early-season nectar and a lush groundcover understory for wildlife. Peer beneath it for frogs and newts. Plant it in woodland edges and urban meadows to attract the tansy-mustard sweat bee (Lasioglossum sisymbrii), the common little leafcutter bee (Megachile brevis), the bufflehead mason bee (Osmia bucephala), the blue orchard bee (Osmia lignaria). Note the towhees that poke and prod within the foliage, plucking at caterpillars of the geranium plume moth (Amblyptilia pica). Deer on the other hand seem to ignore this plant. 

While Oregon geranium is specifically native across Oregon and northern California, low elevation gardeners can probably easily grow it from about southeastern Alaska to Big Sur (maybe even further south). It’s a plant that occurs mostly in and around moist (but not wet) ground. Ranging from about 6- to 18-inches tall, the pink/lavender flowers and interesting dissected foliage make it an entirely attractive bedding plant, completely on par with the various non-native bedding plant geraniums found in nurseries. 

Oregon geranium seems to strongly benefit from 90+ day cold/wet stratification which is probably why the plant is range-limited, and not more widely available in the commercial nursery trade. Once the seed dormancy is broken, young plants grow rapidly as long as they are provided with ample moisture, dappled shade, and rich soils. Protection from larger, more aggressive species is also a key to this plant succeeding -- push back the grasses while this plant establishes itself. 

20 seeds (0.3 grams).

Perfect to make extension cords
Size: 20FT, Style: 16AWG-3C
I have several portable tungsten work lights on stands. They product a high level of light which is great for work in a place without adequate lighting. I can move the lights around and get the best lighting. The problem is that they have short cords. This wire, the 16AWG (with the addition of a plug and a receptacle) will solve that problem. The outer jacket is rugged enough to handle daily use and it is light enough that it is not a bother to carry several to the work site. With a rating of 13.1 amps it maybe a little light to use as a replacement cord for power tools, but this wire does come in several other sizes including 14AWG which should work on most tools.

nice 3 strand 16 gauge wire
Size: 20FT, Style: 16AWG-3C, Size: 20FT, Style: 16AWG-3C
This review is for a 20 foot sample of 3 stranded 16 gauge wire. 300V capacity. Using a multimeter, I got a resistance reading of 0.2 ohms across each of the three strands (at roughly 68 degrees Farenheit). Specs say 26 strands of 0.254 mm Tinned copper wire are inside each cable. Good flexibility in the covering.

Just what was needed
Size: 20FT, Style: 16AWG-3C
This worked great to extend an electrical line a short distance further than the one that was attached to it. No issues encountered.
