That was a good for you to find those tags again!
I was surprised when my Vancouver centennial died..all my other geraniums and pelargoniums are doing well. So the only factor I could think of was my mishandling of the roots during repot. Somehow it reminds me of how bougainvilleas roots should not be too disturbed during repot too. I looked at my old photos, my VC bloomed here during Spring to early Summer.
