One of our class members has sent me a galactic cluster of geranium images. All the images are nameless, so I thought we might have a mini Nature Table. Sometimes it’s hard to remember the wide range of varieties among the hardy geraniums, and here’s a good selection.
How far can you get in trying to pin down which geranium each of these might be?

No garden should be without a hardy geranium – don’t you agree?

Oh, I will not even try. I grow no geraniums. They are uncommon here.

Uncommon? Wow… I wouldn’t have expected that. Something like Geranium maderense ought to love it there. Perhaps a bit too much – you’d probably get them popping up everywhere, but they are magnificent things.

No, the only common sorts are pelargoniums and a few species of geranium that are weeds. Geraniums do well near the coast, but just never became popular here. They do not do so well in the Santa Clara Valley.

They really are valuable plants.
