Glowing gorgeously Geraniums-how could you not be a believer in all things grandioso? These things grow like weeds, but not 365 days a year. More like 180ish.

Caeruleatum I think means bluish but I can't really see it. There's certainly a lot of bluer Geraniums than this one. The flowers do have a soft glow to them though.
I think(?) this is the meadow cranesbill geranium around the pond in my garden (as compared to the pink smaller version that has magically appeared!).
My middle son brought this home from school in June. We've successfully kept it alive (a surprise), and now it's actually flowered!

Red geraniums were my grandmothers favorite. Funny how we become emotionally attached to cetain flowers. I love these, and they remind me of her, her kitchen, her cookies and her expert scalloped potatoes and pork chops :)
Introduced as a garden flower. Now a weed that is taking over areas that once held native plants.
It is pretty though.
Geranium is a genus of 422 species of flowering annual, biennial, and perennial plants that are commonly known as the cranesbills. It is found throughout the temperate regions of the world and the mountains of the tropics, but mostly in the eastern part of the Mediterranean region. These attractive flowers will grow in any soil as long as it is not waterlogged. Propagation is by semi-ripe cuttings in summer, by seed or by division in autumn or spring.
