Pelargonium species

[fermi de Sousa]

Good to read my P alchemilloides is doing OK. If only it had larger flowers. One of my plants survived -11 last winter

Well, I guess I can stop giving it shelter in the shadehouse then!
This is the one that came up outside in the gravel

Yes, my quercifolium has a distinct strong scent when rubbed. Not pleasant
like most pelargoniums.  I can't decide what it resembles. A bit like gasoline? (petrol)

Sounds like the same one we have.
I'll try for a pic later.

Diane,
here's the one we grow:


cheers

For those with a big interest in Pelargoniums you should buy, if you have the money, the three part Pelargoniums of Southern Africa. Three excellent books. They now sell for £100 to £300 each

I would love them Mark but that is a big if!    "if you have the money"

My birthday money has however stretched to an order with Fibrex - including Pelargonium schizopetalum.

This year I've got flowering my p. schizopetalum for the first time.

That's wonderful Susan - I can't wait to get mine!

well done Susan. I think this plant is night scented

Some years ago I've got this pelargonium under the name of P. quinquelobatum. Now somebody told me, that it is not. Does anyone has an idea, what it coud be?
