Pelargonium acetosum
P. 'Ardens' (P. lobatum x fulgidum) is one I like particularly
P. auritum var. auritum I think (seed received from a commercial source as P. praemorsum >:()
P. tongaense

I'd never have thought that foliage belonged to a pellie. And such a beautiful flower!
-
At first I didn't think it was a pelargonium either Maggie, although Fermi was less doubtful (see here (http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=12435.msg316367#msg316367)).
Other seeds, not cheap, from this supplier turned out to be the right genus but different (more common) species so I won't be re-ordering.
-
It is so refreshing to see these Pelargonium species with small flowers!
I can't choose between Ardens and auritum, I like them both equally :)
-
They are all new to me and are delightful. Now if I had a glasshouse...... :)

Ashley,
thanks for sharing these. Simply wonderful. I've been long fascinated by the Pelargonium species, but they are so difficult to come across, even the seed. There are a few in the local botanical gardens, Köln Flora, which grow in a cold house in a semi-desert diarama, along with various South African plants.
Attached is the most exotic I've managed to find commercially! As I know nothing of pelarginium breeding, I wonder which species may have been involved.

A few Geranium cinereum forms and hybrids
Geranium cinereum subcaulescens
Geranium 'Lawrence Flatman'
A seedling from 'Lawrence Flatman'
Geranium cinereum 'Alice'
Geranium argenteum - picture from last month - must get another one with flowers
-
This pelargonium came up from seed and I presumed it was P. australe but I'm not so sure now ???
It's possibly P. odoratissimum, the apple-scented "geranium",
cheers

That's a nice one Fermi, and looks happy. The flowers could be odoratissimum but I wonder are the leaves too big?
A few more here:
Pelargonium dichondraefolium thanks Matt :)
P. myrrhifolium var. myrrhifolium
P. quinquelobatum (x2) The unique green/beige/pink flower colour seems to vary with light direction & I find it hard to capture.
P. trifidum
-
Pelargonium iocastrum had grown well for years in the front rock garden bed but disappeared during the drought - or so I thought!
This year it is back in force - I first noticed it in the gravel path,
cheers

We got this as "Geranium sp, pink flowers" and wonder if it might be Geranium nodosum.
The foliage has taken on a bronze shading with the warmer weather and it may need to be in more shade
cheers

Though coming from a cheap supermarket sowing set these pelargoniums are flowering since more than 6 years without a pause.
With the best wishes for the New Year

Pelargonium rodneyanum is an Australian native and is found in this region,
