What's not to love
about a
Geranium?
Your buds are
are sweet
as a rose
Your flowers,
no less beautiful
You're not bothered by
disease, or pest
or weather
You greet me in the garden
the whole summer long
In so many colours
Providing
a never-ending
display of petals and buds
Some shades are pale
full of romance and whimsy
Others are electric, vibrant, and hot
Nothing is as striking
and hard to capture
As your red-as-a-rose passion
You light my screen
on fire!
Beautiful pictures of geraniums. You have lots of them in different colors. Happy gardening, Rosemary!
ReplyDeleteAnd the smells are so inviting! Wonderful close ups on these beautiful plants. One of my favorites during the our spring months here.
ReplyDeleteHallo Rosemary!
ReplyDeleteSehr schöne Bilder- benutzt du auch eine "Canon" ?? Ich mag Geranien auch gerne, leider ist der "smell" nicht sooo schön!!:O)
Ganz herzliche Grüsse von hier aus Germany

Hello, thanks for your comment :) Yes my camera is a Canon and most of these photos were taken with a macro lens.
DeleteGreat shots, especially I love the background of the pelargonium images. The pelargonium is very simple and pretty flower for summer garden, you're right, Rosemary!
ReplyDeleteIn fall I put the pots with pelargoniums inside.
You give this plant its due, beautifully, in words and images, Rosemary. I like the smell of geraniums in general and scented geraniums in particular for their fragrance, yes, but also for their ability to repel insects. Annnd, like Rosemary, geranium is simply fine herbal medicine.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, Rosemary!
ReplyDeleteLove it very much...
Warm greatings,
Anna :))
Gorgeous pictures again Rosemary! And such a variety of Geraniums. So beautiful!

Kwiaty są piękne i te w delikatnych kolorach i te w czerwieni. Zdjęcia im zrobiłaś cudowne. Pozdrawiam.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are beautiful and the soft colors and those in red. Photos of them did wonderful. Yours.
Beautiful!! I have to admit that I was never a fan of geraniums until we sold our last house. I got several pots of them for my front porch, and I was hooked!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are exquisite. I do love geraniums and have never had a problem growing them. This year however they took a long time to bloom as we had so much rain. This week they are in bloom!
ReplyDeleteHi Rosemary, you have outdone yourself today! Absolutely gorgeous captures.

Great series of Geraniums, Rosemary.
ReplyDeleteVery nice also worked with the aperture, in some photos.
They are all perfectly sharp, compliment.

Hi Rosemary, you captured the loveliness of geraniums beautifully! Even though geraniums are supposed to grow well here in Southern California I have non in my garden. But at least I bought my first pelargoniums lately, I just have to pot them up in nice blue glazed terracotta containers and I think they will look fab! Happy Gardening to you!

Hello Rosemary - some people do not like geraniums or the smell - I love both. Geraniums are the one plant I can rely on to flower and flower without any attention from me. They are great in our current heatwave - they are stoic little survivors.
ReplyDeleteLove your photos, you have worked your camera magic on them.
Hello Rosemary,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great shots you show here!! Really amazing how you've done this so well. Wonderful with that softly backgrounds, you've used well of different focal lengths. Beautiful!!
Many greetings,
Marco
