Erodium pelargonifolium ID wanted

[mark smyth]

'Logano' has a group of flowers bigger than putting finger and thumb together. 'Spanish Eyes' is lovely but I find it short lived. Many I find are very floriferous with Natasha possibly being tops. It can get a wee bit straggly.

I have some 'Logano' babies

Mark,

Thanks for the info.  How long do you regard as "short lived"?  I've had my 'Spanish Eyes' for about 3 years or so now, having lost it a couple of times previously.  The one that has survived and done well is the one that gets the least water and in the hottest area.  The previous ones have rotted which is why I tried this one where it is.  Obviously it likes the heat and good drainage where it is. 

So what do you expect from the seedlings of the 'Logano'?  Do you expect there to be much difference between them?  Which of the ferny leaved species is it derived from?

Mark, I hope you remember to post pics of the babies when they flower.

Mark,

Looks a bit like wild celery.

I dont know the plant, Paul

I may have the wrong name.  One of the herbs has leaves very much like that.  Spreads quite a bit as well.  I obviously don't remember which one it is.  Doesn't matter iehter, as it isn't a Pelargonium.

All the photos of E. pelargoniiflorum in this post have been E. trifolium

Welcome, Storksbill, good to have you join in.

Forgive my confusion-  what is in your photo?

[Storksbill]

Sorry, the left hand side of the photo is Erodium trifolium, the right hand side is Erodium pelargoniiflorum, showing the marked differences between the two species. I hope this helps

Erodium trifolium and pelargonifolium can also be differentiated by fruit as shown in this document p19  : http://www.tela-botanica.org/sites/botanique/fr/documents/biblio/articles_en_ligne/apercu_de_la_taxonomie_du_genre_erodium.pdf
and have a look on a erodium seed (fruit) if it looks like A or C in p24
