Geranium farreri

[johnralphcarpenter]

Geranium palmatum.

Dear Ralph,
                   nr 2 is without doubt G. versicolor, the leaves should have reddish color markings in the nodes.
                   nr 8 looks like one of many  G x oxonianum hybrids.

Here are two species which are flowering for me now:

Geranium psilostemon has really big flowers, approximately 4cm in diameter.

[PaulM]

Geranium palmatum is really impressive. I wish it was hardy here in Sweden : (

[Leena]

Of Ralph pictures, I would suggest also 3,4 and 5 are some of x oxonianum hybrids.

Paul, very nice G.psilostemon. I have 'Patricia' which is G.psilostemon hybrid, it has also rather big flowers and it just started to flower and flowers all summer, one of my favourites.
'Orion' is now flowering for the second time for me, it is a very nice and flowers are big and clear blue.

[Leena]

Geranium  x magnificum is one of my favourite, it flowers only once but when it does it is so full of flowers. The first picture is G.x magnificum 'Rosemoor', slightly more compact plant than ordinary G x magnificum.

The second picture is G. 'Orion', lovely big blue flowers.

Thanks Paul. Geranium palmatum is only hardy here in a mild winter such as the one we just has.

Thanks Leena.

Ralph, here is an attempt for your Geraniums:
1 - could be G. wlassovianum
2 - G. versicolor, I agree
3 - G. oxonianum 'Sherwood' or 'David Mc Clintock' (which has double flowers, but not all)
4 - G. oxonianum, maybe 'Meryl Ann' (very shiny pink colour)
5 - G. oxonianum '?'
6 - G. ibericum
7 - probably one of the dalmaticum/macrorrhizum hybrids, maybe G x cantabrigiense 'Cambridge'
8 - G. x oxonianum 'Thurstonianum'
Do these names ring a bell?

[johnralphcarpenter]

Thanks Zephirine; the species names are familiar, but it is so long since they were planted that I can't recognise cultivar names. They were planted in the late 1990s.

[Matt T]

Pelargonium gibbosum, a wonderfully night-scented species, but a bit of a sprawling plant that needs space/support.

  A super plant, Matt , but not one we hear much about in the forum regrettably  - only two other mentions :

The early flower spikes were destroyed by frost but new ones have formed on Pelargonium triste
