Geraniums of all Kinds

It amazes me when I see the different varieties of geraniums. Actually, the one on the top is pink, but I took it in subdued light without the proper camera setting - I actually like a blue geranium. The middle one looks like little pansies, and the bottom one is totally exotic. The plant gets filled with these white and red blossoms - quite a sight. Mother usually had a geranium in the house in later years, so I have a real fondness for their cheerful attitude and outlook on life. Geraniums are not tempermental, they don't need a lot of fertilizer or water. You can forget about them for a day or two and they will survive. Hardy, like the pioneers.
