Geranium Fire

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!

    1. Hello, thanks for your comment :) Yes my camera is a Canon and most of these photos were taken with a macro lens.

  4. Great 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!
    In fall I put the pots with pelargoniums inside.

  5. 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.

  9. 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!

  10. Your 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!

  14. 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!

  15. 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.
    Love your photos, you have worked your camera magic on them.
