I have decided to join the blogging craze. I am looking forward to taking a moment to find out a little more about the plants I have been photographing. I hope to explore all aspects of plants, flowers, trees and other garden related topics. Sorry about having to watermark the photos but there are a lot of people using them without permission.

Today’s Flower Fish Geranium
Fish Geranium
Pelargonium x hortorum 'Wilhelm Langguth'
Synonyms: Horseshoe Geranium, Zonal Geranium
(pe-lar-GO-nee-um)
The Geraniums have been doing great this year. This one provides a nice contrast between the scarlet flowers and variegated foliage. They are easy to grow and provide a lot of color in the garden. We often over winter a few geraniums as plants but they can also be grown from cuttings.
These other Geraniums have grown well for us, also. This ‘Pink’ from the ‘Survivor’ Series of Geraniums.
Another variety we have used this year is the ‘Patriot’ Geraniums. This is the ‘Salmon’ one but the ‘Bright Red’ and ‘White’ also have nice flowers on bushy plants.

Normally I don't go for Geraniums but these are pretty sweet! The red one is very intense.
Wonderful flower shots! The flowers are always beautiful.
