Mom always had them -- the same hard scarlet flower with dark green foliage -- but I hated geraniums. Years later, with two medium pots at the foot of my stairs, thoughts of mom, how much she loved her geraniums -- but no, not for me!
A dozen years ago, in the Annuals section at Southlands, a salmon-coloured geranium with yellow and brown foliage. Every year after that -- those ones! But if I couldn't find them, then another pair.
Gardeners who don't like geraniums eventually find their colour(s). This year's sentries are Pelargonium zonale (Orange Ice).
