My Photoblog- My Third Eye...!
My geranium with some Carolina jasmine in the background. I planted the jasmine; the geranium wandered over from another section of the garden :-)
Xeriscape Demonstration Garden, Colorado Springs, CO - It has been a while since I posted some flower photos, and while I haven't gotten around to photographing any recently, I have quite a few left over from the summer. I'm pretty sure about the identification of this flower but if anyone has a better definition, please do let me know.
Possibly a geranium? :-)
One of my favourite parts of taking pictures is using a shallow depth of field........ don't ask me why, I just love the effects you can get :-)

Geranium maculatum - The flowers have five pale purple petals and ten stamens. The leaves are palmate with five deeply cut lobes which are deeply parted into three parts, each of which is again split and toothed. This plant was near a Friendly's restaurant in Carmel, New York.
Geranium is a genus of 422 species of flowering annual, biennial, and perennial plants that are commonly known as the cranesbills. They are found throughout the temperate regions of the world and the mountains of the tropics, but mostly in the eastern part of the Mediterranean region. The long, palmately cleft leaves are broadly circular in form. The flowers have five petals and are coloured white, pink, purple or blue, often with distinctive veining. Geraniums will grow in any soil as long as it is not waterlogged. Propagation is by semiripe cuttings in summer, by seed, or by division in autumn or spring. Confusingly, geranium is also the common name of members of the genus Pelargonium, which are also in the Geraniaceae family and are widely grown as horticultural bedding plants. The shape of the flowers offers one way of distinguishing between the two genera Geranium and Pelargonium. Geranium flowers have five very similar petals, and are thus radially symmetrical (actinomorphic), whereas Pelargonium (and also Erodium) flowers have two upper petals which are different from the three lower petals, so the flowers have a single plane of symmetry. 6130

I can remember why I bought this Geranium (or Pelargonium)... I love it's multicolored foliage.
(Geranium or Pelargonium sp.) Family: Geraniaceae
I forgot it's name and have to try to find it's tags.
Don't they look like geraniums? Or rather pelargoniums? That is because they are and because pelargoniums are indigenous to South Africa. I found these on a very wind-swept pass in the Karoo clinging to the side of the hill for all their life. Such a delicate and inoffensive little flower.
"The first species of Pelargonium known to be cultivated was Pelargonium triste, a native of South Africa. It was probably brought to the botanical garden in Leiden before 1600 on ships which stopped at the Cape of Good Hope. In 1631, the English gardener, John Tradescant the elder, bought seeds from Rene Morin in Paris and introduced the plant to England. The name Pelargonium was introduced by Johannes Burman in 1738, from the Greek πελαργός, pelargós, stork, because part of the flower looks like a stork's beak." (Wikipedia)
