Geranium Plants
The geranium that brightens your landscape with its brightly colored flowers may be one of two different species. If you successfully over-wintered your geranium, chances are it is an herbaceous perennial from the genus Geranium. However, most often the geraniums that delight us with their profuse blooms are from the genus Pelargonium.The geranium, which originated in South Africa, made its entrance to the European continent in the 1600's and has been propagated and hybridized ever since. Today the geranium is still among the most popular of the flowering plants. The geranium is a very adaptable flower that is suitable for beds and borders as well as hanging baskets and containers inside or outdoors! Because there are so many types of geranium, it's difficult to choose which is the most popular type to add to your landscape.
- The common or zonal geranium is typically sold as a bedding plant. They are a compact plant, some having very decorative, distinctly marked two and three colored leaves.
- Ivy leaved geraniums are perfect for window boxes and hanging baskets. Although flower petals are narrower and the blossoms less dense than other cultivars, the ivy leaved geranium is an attractive vining plant that can grow up to three feet long.
- Scented geraniums are used for making tea, potpourris and sachets.
They are deceptively sweet and carry the fragrances of lemon, apple, rose, nutmeg, and peppermint. Although the flowers are small and some might say insignificant, the scented geranium is a wonderful way to add fragrance to your patio, porch? or kitchen!
- The mosquito geranium is also a scented geranium. Even if you haven't grown it, chances are you have smelled its insect repelling scent. The mosquito geranium was hybrid especially for production of oil of citronella and frequently is sold at nurseries as the mosquito plant.
Many hybrids have bi-colored flowers and some hybrids bear salmon colored flowers. Easy care, in addition to being a favorite addition to your garden, geraniums also make an inexpensive and lovely gift for Easter, Mother's Day and other special spring occasions..

Atlanta, GA (ContentDesk) June 21, 2006 -- Nature gives unconditionally,
ceaselessly,
asking for nothing in return. It is our choice whether to appreciate nature's seemingly mundane miracles and regard them as holy--
or not.Artist Marjorie Jordan's "Offerings" portrays a series of miracles--
from a hot green pepper, shiny and erect in the palms of a woman's pale hands,
her fingers tipped red; to a trilogy of vine-ripened,
homegrown, red-orange tomatoes, the likes of which we haven't seen in stores for decades. Juicy, plump and real enough to reach out onto the sun-drenched canvas and snatch one from the hands of the woman in the light blue dress, and suspecting,
by her gentle posture, that she'd sacrifice willingly-- not one tomato, but all three.Along with whatever else might be tumbling from her rich garden patch.Inspired by Chilean Poet Laureate Pablo Neruda's "Odes to Common Things," Marjorie Jordan's brilliant, bold...
