P.x. Schotti - leaves

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.

this 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 ;-)
