Grandma Called Them Geraniums!

Whether you call these hard working plants Pelargoniums or Geraniums, be sure to call them Beautiful!

Last year I joined the local Geranium Society.  For a few dollars a year I receive a wonderful newsletter and advance notice of all the sales and garden tours.  I have yet to make it to one of the meetings as the drive would take some time, but I did make it to one of the sales last year and this is my reward.  I planted most of these in the ground, a few in pots; I love to look out back from my kitchen window and see all their happy faces smiling back at me.
