Scented pelargoniums seeds collected from my garden

Pelargoniums are closely related to true Geraniums. Most of the cultivated Scented Pelargoniums have their origins in South Africa and usually are commercialized like "Scented Geranium", their early on adopted name.

Vancouver has a moderate oceanic climate  and I grown my pelargoniums outdoor in pots in the late spring, summer and early fall and brought indoors to avoid freezing temperatures in late autumn, winter and early spring,  even though this area has relatively mild winters with little snow. Pelargoniums are easy to care and they need a well-drained soil,  full sun - some shade and require very little water. Recommended is to plant them in  clay pots because prevent accumulation of excess humidity. You can remove them periodically from pots, but if you want to bloom and to make seeds, avoid re-poting them in summer. Pelargoniums can be propagated from stem cuttings, root division or seeds, the preferred propagation method being from cuttings.

My lovely pelargonium plants made a lot of clusters of flowers this summer, each flower having five petals arranged with two upper petals often larger and more richly colored and three lower.
Just few varieties of pelargonium made small curly-tailed brownish seeds:

- Pelargonium quercifolium, Fair Ellen, Oakleaf

 - Pelargonium x citrosum: Citrosa and Prince of Orange varieties

 - Pelargonium Capitatum, Attar of Roses, Drusaim, Wildemalva.

- Pelargonium Graveolens:  Lady Plymouth and Rober's Lemon-Rose varieties

 Pelargonium Graveolens: Lady Plymouth
Pelargonium Graveolens: Rober's Lemon-Rose


I do not know yet if  from these seeds collected from my garden will grow same varieties of plants or I will obtain new hybrids if cross-pollination process happened in my garden. I will see this next growing season.

If anyone wants to buy or trade (aromatic plants only) scented pelargonium  (geranium) seeds, just email me.

There are many Coach Outlet Online in the market.
The best place to secure that you are really getting an authentic Michael Kors Bags Outlet is from the authorized stores.
One of the primary concerns when buying a new Michael Kors Purse Outlet is that of authenticity.
If you are smart and want full value for your money, then there are some ways in which you can identify an original Coach Outlet Store Online.
Remember, the MK Outlet never comes off, and never tears out.
Probably the best way to find out if the Coach Bags Clearance is actually.
Time to go online and get yourself a Coach Bags Outlet if you haven't already.
Cheap Real Yeezys, a Nike new product launched recent years, is one of them.
Actually, there are many stores stocking Cheap Yeezys.
