Antrim, Northern Ire, United Kingdom(Zone 8b)

... in the world http://www.marksgardenplants.com/pelargoniums4.htm well, I think so anyway. From the first page just follow the links to the other 3 pages.

Enjoy!

ps there are a couple of main images missing.

Amazing! Do you grow them all in your garden?

Pelargoniums are quite ordinary here, but I have never seen a yellow one, nor one with frilled petals.

Another WOW for you, Mark!

I have just been looking at this months traffic stats for my web site marksgardenplants.com It shows that 22 people have visited the Pelargonium pages via the link above.

76 other people from DG have visited my web site from various other links.

Those are beautiful. I like the Caffrum,tricolor
and Ardens.

Those 3 should be available from http://www.geraniaceae.com

Ooops, don't know how I missed the update, but looking VERY good :)
Really like this layout as I said before you'd completed it, the photos and naming works very well.

Happened to notice the you've missed the k out of, and added an e, to P barklyi (according to Diana Miller's spelling anyway) and I know you're a stickler for such things...
:)

Antrim, Northern Ire, United Kingdom(Zone 8b)

oops. I'll sort it out right now

Antrim, Northern Ire, United Kingdom(Zone 8b)

tis done

Castelnau RB Pyrenée, France(Zone 8a)

Yep, looks fine now - just checked up on you lol ;-)
What a lot of work you've put into this - mind boggling!!!

Antrim, Northern Ire, United Kingdom(Zone 8b)

once it's in my head to do something like this I have to do it or else it will never be done

Castelnau RB Pyrenée, France(Zone 8a)

Yes, I spend far too much time thinking of all the things I want to do and not making the time to get them done.....
though I spose I get through a fair bit
Hmmm

Fayette, MO(Zone 6a)

thanks Kathy

Albany, MO(Zone 5a)

Simply amazing Mark. I've never seen most of them,,,I guess the US is slow in finding them. Naturally.

Antrim, Northern Ire, United Kingdom(Zone 8b)

I bought most in the US LOL

North Vancouver, BC(Zone 8a)

oh boy, ....what a gorgeous site you found Mark! I think I was in there for nearly an hour, the other day! Come to think of it, the Pelargoniums are few and far between here in North America. Wonder why, that is? E........extra, extra! Geranium sang. "Alan Bloom"......that is the one I must have, as I met him,,,,,,,,,years ago!

I never thought but you can buy a huge range of Pelargoniums in BC too http://www.holtgeraniums.com/catalogue.htm They are in Abbotsford, B.C., Canada V3G 1R3

North Vancouver, BC(Zone 8a)

thankyou....I forgot abbout Holt's! The owner is a wonderful speaker! E.

Why is it that Geraniaceae seems to me more appriciated in UK and not in the US? Our local nurseries may have one or two to the hundreds of other species?

Any recomendations to US sources to Pelargoniums and Geraniaceae?

You'll find that like her in the UK and Europe we have to go looking for these plants. I buy most of mine on the 'net which I think most others do also.

There is an excellent nursery in California selling both species. The owner Robin Parer - female - knows her stuff http://www.geraniaceae.com/

There is a nursery in Canada specialising in all the types of Pelargoniums http://www.holtgeraniums.com/catalogue.htm

A word of warning - you will get hooked if you start to buy plants from this family.

Thanks I'll check out your hyperlink.

Any problem buying plants offshore (Canada) with USDA etc?

Antrim, Northern Ire, United Kingdom(Zone 8b)

that I'm not sure as I'm in Northern Ireland. anyway rules are only there to be bent/broken

The California Hyperlink is the place I just ordered some from for the first time I'll try the Canadian one as well. I think I am already hooked. I remember the look of green and red Gerraniums in Baveria and Switzerland and I am delighted to be able to reproduce that look even though I am in the humid South (Georgia), the scented and fancy leaved verieties are a bonus. I started with 3 and I am already snipping cuttings from places I visit.
