Thought I would hand this over to you since it's your baby and you are so good explaining the difference between geranium and pelargonium :-) As at 5.40am the picture appeared in the usual photo section above voting booth. No offence intended Eadesgreenhouses.

Heheh, I liked this; so 300 years on we can fly to the moon, send emails at 3000 km/sec ........ but gardeners can't call Pelargoniums by their correct name.

Here they are called pelargoni, and Geranium is kurjenpolvi, so we don't have problems id'ing them. :}
