.......................now I shall have to research on the differance
between a Geranium & a Pelagonium?
Cheers Wendy
Some ways to tell them apart -
1. Everything you call a Geranium is probably a Pelargonium
2. Pelargoniums are mostly tender shrubs with more or less woody stems
sometimes succulent.
Geraniums are herbaceous annuals and perennials.
3. Pels have irregular flowers, three smaller below and two larger above
- usually - and some only have four petals, two larger and two
smaller.
Gers. have regular flowers, five petals -usually- Both can be doubles
and have many petals.
4. Pels have a nectar tube attached to their pedicels - Not always
obvious
A few common examples
Ivy Geraniums are P. peltatum
Zonal Geraniums are P. x hortorum
Lady Washington, Regal and what are here called just "Pelargoniums" are
P. x domesticum
