Mistaken identity.

She isn't an Apple Blossom, but a sneaky Zonale.

Geranium "Apple Blossom".

Lady in Red encore.

Lady in Red.

First time blooming.

Random Picture Day, New growth.

Random img day today. Just a little picture of what's going on in the windows. The last bit of X-mas still up in the window. And one of the few Geraniums that managed to survive through the winter and my depression.

You can't see most of the plant because it's hanging down in the darkness. But the part I really like with this one right now is the new leafs growing straight up. They started growing right after I moved it to this window, and it makes me very pleased. As with all of my flowering plants, I hope to see it bloom this spring.

Geranium galore, again.

These flowers are replacements for 3 others that died during a move this winter. I was sad to see them go, but happy to have found the exact same ones again now that they've started selling them in the store again. And yes it is 3 different kinds of Geranium. 

In the white pot, Pelargonium zonale "Apple Blossom". In the black, Pelargonium peltatum "Balkon Red". And in the purple one, Pelargonium peltatum "Evka".

@Sugar's place..

Or rather, in his window.

A random generic red Geranium that he's fostering for me. Seems to be doing just fine. :) Blossoming an all.

Random picture day, Geranium.

Because I love seeing the buds.

And want to share.

Geranium surprise.

Omg omg omg. Look what I got the other day. A friend had a new Geranium and it was full of seed spears. I took a few seeds and will get more in a while. We don't know if they're fertile. And we absolutely don't  know how the flower will look if the seeds are fertile. So this will be Very interesting.

*tiny happy dance* 

Evka.

I'm sorry. I really couldn't help my self this time.

My latest babe. "Evka", Geranium. 

Random Picture Day.

"Little Lady"

New babies.

The blossoming sweetie on the left is "Little Lady". She's a "compact" Geranium. Never had one of these before, so this will be interesting. She's supposed to stay fairly small, but we'll see how that goes. 

The tiny baby on the right is "Katy". This years "flavor" apparently. She was sort of an impulse buy really, but I couldn't help my self. She looked so lonely and tiny. ( And was freakishly cheap. )

I hope they'll be happy here.

Geranium Love.

My Blueish Princess.

Because I can.

And because I like flowers.

Here's a collage of the other Geranium that bloomed.

Number 5.

So, I've had 4 flowers blooming in my window this winter. Not at the same time ofc, and one of them simply didn't stop blooming after summer ended. She's a little bit special.  Either way it's a bit unusual, but look what I found this morning. This is the second Geranium that had decided to join the game, and if she blooms will be number 5. Very exciting. Funny I din't see that when I gave them a check over the other day.

I need to start marking them all up soon. I think I have a pretty good idea of "who is who". But it's always better to have them labeled too. And I think, if I remember it correctly. That this is my special generic one. She has a sort of purple-bluish color. But I am told, there are no blue geraniums. Interesting.

Plant care.

Yesterday I had some quality time with my plants. I'm so happy every time I check on them and see that they're still alive and doing ok. They're doing much better than last winter. I wonder if it is because I've put them all near the window and maybe the light from there together with the fixture is doing them good.

Last time many of them lost a lot of leafs. But probably much to do with me forgetting to water them properly. This winter is much better. I guess it's good to buy "special" plants that you care even more about. I have a few now who if they died, would make me so miserable. Only had one death so far.

That was a flower I had duplicates of so no worries there. I do hope the remaining one stays alive tho. But now, it's tea time. My room smells of Geraniums and dirt. Nice. And I have a big cup of tea and cupcakes that are waiting for me. It's a good day.

Oh..

Found a mail in my inbox today. From someone who had read my blog and was kind enough to leave a mark and wish me a Merry Christmas. I'm touched. It was very nice to find that in between all the junk mail.

What I was supposed to say here though is that my funny geranium has started to bloom. Woke up to see it just the other day. Also a very welcome sight. This flower has a very bright pink color, almost unreal I'd say. I'm keeping an extra eye on her now. To make sure she has plenty of water and everything else since she decided to bloom in the winter. So far so good. :-)

Looking good.

Last set of buds that came during winter never made it this far.

Very promising, very promising indeed.

Winter buds.

One of my Geranium flowers have decided to bloom too. This is the third winter I'm keeping flowers here in my little dungeon. One of them did try last year, but the buds died before they got anywhere. I suspect the light they're getting is just enough to keep them alive and ( in some cases ) grow. We'll see what happens with this one. Would be nice if it blooms.

Blossom.

First time this plant is blooming. It's a baby taken from a bigger plant from my mom. Didn't think it would produce any flowers at all. Since it's been outside all summer but never even tried. The mother plant blossomed quite well tho. So it was very nice to notice these few but precious buds after I'd moved it back inside for a few days.
