I had a SIL (now an ex-SIL) who swore blind that geraniums (as in
pelargoniums) were derived from cranesbills, and she wouldn't be
shifted from that view, because 'an old gardener had told her'!

What a shame he wasn't a lot more specific! Very useful plants the
hardy geraniums. They seem to be happy almost anywhere. I'm very fond
of 'Rozanne', which used to be called 'Jolly Bee' but I think my
favourite is 'Splish Splash' because I like the random blue streaking
on the petals.
