Carlo there are a few species Pelargoniums and Geraniums with strings of beads. Two that come to mind are G. orientalitibeticum, G. malviflorum and P. worchesteriae

Hi Paul,
not too hot, but dry -ish ( see note above addressed to Mark).
I've found here that the erodiums will tolerate the heat if given a little shelter from the afternoon sun.
cheers

Here are four geraniums from my garden.
I have labelled them a,b,c,d because I don’t know their names.
I also grow geranium palmatum and splish-splash, but neither is in flower at the moment.

I've followed your links Mark and they look like good matches to my plants.
Thanks,

Mark, I have a geranium I grew from czech seed a good few years go. The flowers look like yours, does it have lovely silver/grey foliage? I got it as G. cinereum ssp. subcaulescens var subcaulescens. If it is the same plant you are lucky because makes a lovely compact 20cm dome and flowers all the time from spring onwards. It doesn't set many seeds, but perhaps because I only have 1 clone, the seed tends to stay with its tails when it gets ejected.

yes it has soft grey leaves. The last part of the name isnt subcaulescens. If it does stay that small I'll put it in a trough

I keep pushing Geranium 'Rozanne' a sthe best Geranium ever - until the next comes along - and this is why. Three plants and the keen gardener from a few doors away. A keener eye for golf balls and stole one. Caught him on and sent him to sit in the car while I walked around. "tell your dad before I tell him" I said

Ah, what better soil can do. Mine never even approaches a quarter of that in size, conditions are just not good enough here! LOL Fantastic plant, that is for sure.

what's your soil like?
Here is another must have Geranium. It's either 'Anne Folkard' or 'Anne Thompson' I'll phone the garden owner to find out which it is. The plant in the photo is one plant
