inspired - geraniums ...



Inspired by Kellie's beautiful photography and her blog 74 Lime Lane, I'm sharing my favourite geraniums with you today - they are in full bloom at the moment and just a beautiful shade of crimson.

Geraniums get a bad wrap sometimes - I've heard them refered to a smelly old weeds - a waste of space. Geraniums transport me back to Europe, and Italy in particular - window boxes overflowing with brightly coloured geraniums and other flowers. They are super drought and brown thumb tolerant. They are happy little flowers I love to have around.

Have a lovely day!

Some geraniums are a bit leggy but mostly they are gorgeous, colouful, happy plants that will gro wfor even the blackest of thumbs. They also make great pot plants and thrive even in dry places. I love them. Cherrie

Thanks for the photo. Geraniums transport me back to my nanna's and Great Auntie garden. Old fashioned flowers.
