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

These wild geraniums usually flower in early June, but this one decided to wait it out until almost the end of August!

Most of the wild geraniums growing along the Royal Canal are petite little pink Herb-Roberts, but if you keep an eye out you’ll spot a few bigger wild geraniums here and there, specifically Hedgerow Crane’s-Bills like these little beauties opposite the railway station in Maynooth.
One of the last of this year's geraniums.
They've brightened up the garden no end this year. I'll miss them now the days are getting shorter and colder.
I decided to have a play in the garden shooting a geranium and using some out of focus Buttercups to provide splodges of colour.
Mes géraniums, après un petit passage à vide, sont de nouveau très beaux
My geraniums, after a short period of decline, are once again very beautiful.
