hey Aki, yes and no, is the short answer ;-) although Geranium is the common name for both genera of Geranium, Erodium, and Pelargonium, the flowers i'm concerned with is only the Pelargonium. and the flower depicted here is a cultivar pelargonium of the stellar type.
stellar pelargoniums have the characteristics of sharply lobed leaves, pointed flowers and most often wider bottom petals.
if you have a look at my list under type: Stellars, you'll see the resemblance.
... and it is almost impossible to recognise pelargoniums by their look off hand, as there are more than 200 species in wildly different shapes and over 3000 cultivars! ... hm, i better write a post about this one fine day ;-)
willkommen - bienvenue - welcome to the kompostellarium! here you will find tips on how to care for pelargoniums, pictures of my pelargoniums & other flowers i meet on my way. with time the list will grow and i will add text to explain the depicted pelargonium.
- USE THE LIST BELOW TO NAVIGATE -
- you can click each image to get a better look -
and please do comment - especially if the information is wrong; the pelargonium world is still a bit of a labyrinth to me. greetings - kompoStella
- Ardwick Cinnamon - Dronning Ingrid - p. australe, seeds you can find information on each baby in the alphabetical list. if you are interested please leave a comment with your email address and i will contact you. i would love to exchange pelargoniums if you have any. some of my dreams you will find on the wish list below but let me know what you have... otherwise, i sell them.

Is this flower also a geranium? I see as a different flower.
