“Geranium”?

Rich brought a lot of potted plants into the greenhouse this spring that I thought I recognized as “geranium” plants. (Is the plural “gerania”?) But some quick research suggests that these may be of the genus Pelargonium within the Geraniaceae family. I will have to check.

[It rained all day today, apparently grounding all our winged friends…]

In any case, it’s been interesting to see how these plants bloom, as suggested by this image.
