it has been a tradition to plant Red Geraniums-- (pelargonium) -- each year. Even if i only have small apt. balcony space. the Geranium has over 400 varieties and comes to us from South Africa.
The flowers have some symbolism. It is said that those who give a geranium as a housewarming gift, wish upon the apt. dweller good health and it is also considered protection for the homeowner.
