Author Message   Hankeat  Posted on Friday, May 02, 2008 - 02:51 am EST :    I bought this Geranium few years ago, when I was a newbie in gardening. Now I'm still, but I would like to know what Geranium it is. Thanks in advance.

Hans_jorgen_kuus - Nordborg, Zone "6 South Denmark"   Psilo  My Garden Journal My Garden Posted on Friday, May 02, 2008 - 07:37 am EST :    yes could be. hard to say without a fuller pic.

The geranium starts flowering now.

Here is G. sylvaticum 'Meran', for instance: Zephirine - Rhone-Alpes, Zone "7B"   Psilo  My Garden Journal My Garden Posted on Saturday, May 03, 2008 - 03:54 am EST :    No it isnt pratense, habit and leaf is wrong and it doesnt flower this early and not sylvaticum either. Where did u get it? was it b ought as a plant or grown from seed? Reminds me quite a bit of Geranium Maculatum. Psilo - United Kingdom, Zone "8"   Marlene  Posted on Saturday, May 03, 2008 - 05:42 am EST :    Hello :-) It is Geranium maculatum 'Album'. Marlene - Denmark, Zone "7"   Hankeat  Posted on Saturday, May 03, 2008 - 08:01 am EST :    Thanks everybody. I bought it in supermarket. Two small bare root cuttings that packed in a small plastic case for only 1€. It's Geranium maculatum 'Album'. Another hybrid Geranium maculatum 'Espresso' is beautiful. http://www.abnativeplants.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=plants.plantDetail&plant _id=75 Hankeat - Berlin, Zone "7a"   Maggiepie  Posted on Saturday, May 03, 2008 - 08:07 am EST :    I think you got a couple of real bargains!!

The flowers are just beginning to open: Gardenfiend - Germany, Zone "7a"   Hankeat  Posted on Sunday, May 04, 2008 - 11:21 am EST :    That's beautiful! Mara. I put it on my waiting list. Hankeat - Berlin, Zone "7a"   Maggiepie  Posted on Sunday, May 04, 2008 - 12:23 pm EST :    Very pretty little flower Mara, how big are the flowers? I have a geranium with dark leaves like that but it was wrongly named so I am not sure what it is, but think the flowers are a different shape to yours. Maggiepie - New Brunswick, Zone "4b"   Gardenfiend  Supporting Member My Weather My Garden Posted on Sunday, May 04, 2008 - 12:50 pm EST :    The leaves are fairly big, so the flowers are small in comparison. I'd say they are about the size of sanguineum flowers, maybe a bit smaller. Gardenfiend - Germany, Zone "7a"   Maggiepie  Posted on Monday, May 05, 2008 - 06:24 am EST :    Thanks Mara, btw, am curious about what colours you mix with it,what is yours planted next to?
