Interesting you should post this. While weeding I found two Geraniums with similar leaf markings

I've just separated my seedlings of Geranium maderense. They are now at the two true leaf stage as we head into autumn. How long to flowering?

Why start them so late Anthony?

They form the trunk in year one and flower in year 2. I don't think yours will flower until 2017

Seeds were planted months ago, straight off the plant (not mine). They only started germinating a couple of weeks ago.

My Geranium maderense plants were at the two true leaf stage mid April. Here are four of them now.

It looks a bit like G dissectum but that one is usually annual or biennial.

I'd say G. dissectum. Self seeds everywhere here.

Relegating my Pelargonium triste to the bulb frame has done the trick. A cool winter and more light than it was getting on an inside windowsill has indeed prompted flowering this year. This is another Pel. with a nice scent to the flowers too.

Geranium dalmaticum album
Plenty of flowers now but the plant never sets seeds.
Does someone have a fertile plant?Or is it just the lack of bees?

Repotted my Geranium maderense plants for the second time since 1st June, when they were potted on into 4" pots. On the 1st July they went into 6" pots, and the first pic shows the root system today, when they were put into 10" pots.
