I love my garden, I do. It’s at the heart of my life. But just recently I’ve been drawn back and back to a windowsill by some sweet dwarf pelargoniums. Here’s one:
Dwarf Perlagonium Golden Mist – sweet?!
I wanted something small, easy and sun loving for the windowsill of the conservatory and discovered these beautiful things. I instantly ordered far too many – they cost a fortune, and some are hopeless. Ouch! They arrived as plug plants which then spent a long time in a cold frame. Some were already showing small flowers, so I was there several times a day, gazing at them. (I know)
It seemed very late in the year to be expecting anything – August – but most of them came on well. Some didn’t and haven’t.
This is still alive, three months on, and still exactly like this. I may have over potted but most of them romped away.
But the ones that flowered have just delighted me, and have drawn visitors to them with the same effect. So here they are, for you to enjoy:
Pelargonium Saga
Pelargonium David John
Elmsett – hmm, a bit too speckly??
Emma Jane Read – yes!
Perlagonium Southern Rosina
Dainty Damosel – my favourite!!!
Not sure about speckles but the variegation adds what is commonly described as interest. Sammi Broughham. Hm.
They’re still at it. Please ignore the cobweb. We look after spiders as our favourite indoor wildlife…
Is my favourite too bright??? (It’s just the photo….)
