Pelargonium 'Guernsey Flair'
« on: September 07, 2008, 06:48:24 PM »
You might have read in gardening magazines or seen on Ebay the new colour break yellow Pelargonium 'Guernsey Flair'.

I bought one when I was in England and I can tell you it looks nothing like the say shows

If it was called 'Guernsey Cream' it would be a fair description.

Mark,

Are you sure you got the right thing?  I'd be asking for my money back for that one..... there's not even much cream in there, let alone any yellow.

The creamy one looks pretty amazing anyway.

Pat,

Picture aside, would you really call it a "yellow geranium" like on the tag?  :o

With the eye the flower is slightly darker than the image shows. It is still quite nice and as it only cost £1 in the annual plants sale it's OK. Many bulbs sellers alter their web site images to sell their bulbs

Still stretching it to call it a yellow by description, regardless of altered picture!  ::)  Bugs me when so clearly deliberately misleading "advertising".
