It was a day of quietude for this flower girl. Soft and clouded, with cool moist air. Good for the petals I know she was thinking.

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. 34576

Plenty in my garden.
What we wrongly call 'Geranium' are actually 'Pelargonium'... from my garden, where they grow faster than 'weeds'. LOL.
WILD(?) Geranium Ingwersen's Variety (Cranesbill, Perennial Geranium)
Pleasant light pink flowers with pronounced sepals on strong stems.
Macro-rhizum are more drought tolerant than other Cranesbills.
The semi-evergreen aromatic leaves of Geranium Ingwersen's Variety are tinted bronze-red in fall and foliage can be dried for potpourri.
It has a very particular, quite strong smell.
Bees love them.
Thank you for your visit, M, (*_*)
