it has been a long time since i posted anything here, i guess i lost my courage when all my pellies got a disease. i'll explain all about it but i have a problem... i'm not sure what it's called in english! it looks like an aphid (only it's smaller and white), the swedish term is "rotlöss" (root's lice) and i haven't found the right translation.ok, here's what evil looks like, remember you can

i have no idea what is happening to my template but the layout sure looks strange this morning... ??? i'll close my eyes and hope it goes away for now... i really don't want to change anything.and then i'll go look at the pelargoniums that have started to bloom - the next morning: aha! sometimes closing your eyes and pretending not to see the problem actually works! nothing is wrong now...pheew..

so we'll have to make do with this painting while we wait for the buds to arrive. at least it's got a pelargonium in it ;-)while i've been waiting away, this blog has turned a magic corner; the number 1000. more than one thousand visits from all over the world! i mostly blog for my own sake and yet i think it's great that you all stop by - thanks. especially on this blog, where i am trying to

as we wave goodbye to winter, spring has already moved into my pots. all the pelargoniums have new soil, some of them new pots and most of them are already putting on new, green finery. the new leaves are the most clear and soft green and i love to watch as they slowly unfold. some of the plants had stretched so far for the light over the winter that they needed a good trim and i took some snap

one of the wonderful things about pelargoniums is that they are so easy to propagate. it can be done by seeds if you're looking at growing species or F1 cultivars but the easiest way - and the only way for most cultivars - is by taking cuttings. here's how to do it::: THE POTS ::i prefer terracotta. i think they're prettier and better for the environment but most importantly, they drain faster

this blog is now in winter hibernation. as i'm looking for a new home for me & the pellies and nothing much happen to them in winter anyway, we'll focus elsewhere. if i feel like writing here, i'll put more information on the old posts about the different species & cultivars that i have. meanwhile, i'll still be posting on my other blog.until spring comes around to grace us again: enjoy!

perhaps i should change the image for my profile... my friend is not so tiny any more... maybe it should now be named small instead of tiny. no way near the glory of its late mother but still, it's about twice the size as when all of this begun. and it is surely hell bent on flowering before it's too late...

named after the former queen of Denmark, this cultivar has a somewhat uncertain history. some think it an old Danish variant that used to be called Ellen. others say the queen had it with her from her Swedish castle garden at Sofiero. If you look at the rust red middle and think about how many Swedish cultivars are similar to this one, i reckon the last version to be true.regardless, this is an

Hybridiser: Victor Lemoine, 1865Hailing from France, i reckon it could be named after Marie Antoinette's favourite hand maiden? especially since her name also entails differing spellings - sometimes 'Thibout' and spelled both with & without the letter L in it.

today it was time to water again - haven't for a while, as the rain has done a pretty good job. that's when i noticed that Berta had decided to join the ball. what a quaint and modest name for such an elegant and poetic flower! it is so white that i found hard to take a picture in the sun, it frankly shone in my eyes... ok, i'm in love, i admit it...i adore the way the petals sits in a

while i wait for this stubborn & shy beauty to come up with a new bud...on the photo to the right, the leaf looks prickly but that's only because it's a close up. actually the leaves are very soft to the touch, velvety.

i've had problems catching the colour of P. sidoides, one of my favourite pelargoniums. i've tried too many times, even borrowed other cameras to make it work, but the pix would always come out too red. these shots are better, colour wise.

me so happy!!!!!!!! i got one that was one my wish list, Madame Thibaut/Thibault a while back but it was so badly damaged that i was sure it would die. i was left with only the littlest top and two small leaves. but after two months of struggling, here it comes! i'll keep it shaded so that it doesn't turn too pink.since Madame T is now off the list, i can add a new one, he-he :-}

this one is from Faye Brawner's Deerwood collection. i bought it as "Deerwood Lavender Lady" but have as yet not found any information about it, so i suspect that it is actually "Deerwood Lavender Lad"what say ye???hmmm... guess i should take a picture of the leaves and upload it so that any one with an opinion will have more to decide upon... later...

hybridiser: Cannellthis elegant one is a truly old kind, it's from sometime before 1868. under strenuous conditions the leaves will change the colour of their borders from cream to pinkish. so, if we like that, we will have to torture L'elegante... and we do... mo-ha-ha-ha :-¤i've also seen it spelled L'elégant and (although i don't think that can be grammatically right) Le Elegante.

Monica lives in a sea of flowers. a colourful world that shocks your senses with scents, variations of colour and soft sensations beneath your fingertips.i'm not sure i could ever find the energy to care for this many flowers but how i admire Monica & her husband for finding it! there must be more than a thousand... a few of the prettiest regals, a sweet selection of scented, several angels,

Hybridiser: Lee of Hammersmith, 1810this pelargonium is from Monica's great collection.not a great shot but a truly great pelargonium. Monica treats her friends well and this one was flowering as if it wanted to enter a competition! i tried, in vain, to get my hands on this kind several times and i'm looking forward to the day it will live here with me and treat me to a flower-smile ;-)
