Geraniums From Long Ago

There are many kinds of Geraniums and this is one "true" Geranium you will seldom see. Hubby got this plant from a lady in the Geranium Society. It has not been an easy plant to deal with, and I am sorry to say he has threatened to pull it out more than once. Right now it looks beautiful and likes all the rain we have gotten this spring.

This is a Cranesbill Geranium so called because of the shape of their seed pods. The foliage is distinctly toothed and bright magenta flowers are in a tight cluster on top of the plant. It is quite different from the usual plants we call Geraniums which are really Pelargoniums. Beautiful, just beautiful. It likes all your loving care, my dear.Posted by Picasa
