Oh isn’t that a beaut.....unusual colour...😍

That's a stunner ❤

Beautiful and full of flowers ♥️♥️

So many flowers they almost completely cover the beautiful folige

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom thanks Elaine 😊 it’s a salmon pink in not-so-blazing sun 😜

@jeatacake thank you Jeff ☺️

@midnightgardener thanks Christine 😁 has never flowered so well before 😍

@alan1111 it’s a bit of a shame it hides the leaves but I’m impressed with how many flowers there are 😛

It's great to see them doing so well after the winter

@alan1111 all 3 made it through, with the help of greenhouse living 😂

I remember them in the greenhouse all three beauties in their own right

#pelargonium #pelargonium-frank-headley

These last few days of sunshine has helped them come along

@alan1111 it’s been lovely hasn’t it ☀️ trying to leave them to flower before I cut them back. Had frosts the past few nights so figure it’s best to leave them a while longer - no idea what I’m doing really 🤣

I'm not much help there 😉

@alan1111 we are 2 peas in a pod Alan 😅

Fabulous 💕

I like it!

Very very pretty and that colour 😊😊♥️♥️💕💕

@dirtgirlworld thanks Maggie 😊

@juliesgarden thanks Julie ☺️

@gjones thank you Katy 😁

@ublaszko it’s a nice pink 💗 much prefer it to the vivid orange/red

@midnightgardener thank you Christine 😄

#pelargonium #pelargonium-frank-headley

Or this one 😍

@ublaszko even the flowers are tolerable in winter 😜

I liked my variegated pelargonium from 2 years ago and I missed it last year.

@ublaszko which one did you have??

Mrs Pollock. It had yellow, red and green splodges. Red flowers but it rarely flowered because it was in full shade.

@ublaszko oh yeah, that’s pretty much the same as Contrast, great looking leaves 😍

Yeah, look the same. 👍

Such a pretty one Kerry

So much colour going on in your pots K 🌈

What a beautifully simple flower 😍😍😍

@telswirld things are starting to colour up again, if Dennis didn’t blow it all away 😖

@pelly they are delicate little things, and don’t detract from the foliage either 😍

Oh, how precious! 😍

@taylork thanks Taylor ☺️ they’re adorable little blooms 🥰

Hi! Do you have these growing now? I’m curious what your weather is like during the winter? Our weather is usually gray although it’s been 63 and sunny the last few days here. It was appreciated. Now it’s raining and the buckets are outside for plant water. Have a good day

I love this color!

@janetandjim hi Janet 😁 I do have these growing in the greenhouse at the moment 😊 it’s been cold here but not below zero much. They’re protected but the greenhouse isn’t heated so am surprised they’re doing so well! Sounds like your winter is being kinder to you than summer was 😜 hope it continues 🤞🏻

@savannahssucculentgarden isn’t it pretty 😛 much nicer than the orange/red flowers that you typically see

Still trying 😅 #pelargonium #pelargonium-frank-headley

Looking good & if a bit mild, can flower all winter in the greenhouse 👍

Good to have flowers on it but the foliage is the star of the show

@jeatacake they’re getting a little leggy now but will wait til spring to cut them back. Was tempted to decapitate them but feel guilty chopping off flowers 😜

@alan1111 it most definitely is 🤩 but starting to look a bit ropey now so didn’t wanna show the crispy leaves 🤣

Just pull them off and the plant might look a little better 😜

@alan1111 was being too lazy and cold to pretty it up 🤭

I know how that goes 😂

@alan1111 it’s horrible because so much needs done but there’s no incentive for us to go out there in this freezing, wet, windy weather 😜

Spring is probably the best time to cut them back, when new growth will start properly. You can then also use the bits cut off as cuttings 👍

Luckily I haven't got much of a clean up to do so a half decent day and I'll it done

@jeatacake see, I’d never think to use the bits I chop off for cuttings 🙈 need to get a Jeffbrain! 😉

@gjones me too 😁 they’re very small now so guessing it’s slowing down for winter ☹️

@gjones this one has a much more subtle coloured flower and I think it looks quite good with the foliage ☺️

Beautiful, it would light up any room

@gjones it is quite delicate. They’re just so interesting to look at 😍

@alan1111 thank you Alan ☺️ lets hope it keeps lighting up my greenhouse til next spring 🙏🏻

It might look a bit rough in spring but come summer....

@alan1111 so long as it makes it to spring I’ll be happy whatever its state 🤣

Just keep it on the dry side with a bit of luck it'll be fine

@alan1111 that’s what I’m worried about, the watering. I’ve no idea how frequently I should be doing it 🤪 I assume most things should be kept on the dry side?

I look at the weather if it's been wet or over cast they won't need water but if it's been dry and bright for a while just cheak them

@alan1111 thank you Alan 🙏🏻

Are you still up? Go to bed 😜

@alan1111 I’m just about to, had to do my final rounds first 🤣

Lol good night

#foliagefriday

Wow! Look at this! Gorgeous!💘😍

@ShelleySnyder thanks Shelley ☺️ like a camouflage effect 😛

@gjones thanks Katy 😀 the edges are starting to go pink too, quite a nice effect 😋

Except it's much prettier!💘😍

@ShelleySnyder they should change all the cammo to this pattern 😅 the world might be a little more cheerful if the military dressed as plants 🤣

You're right!💘😍

Wowzers! I'm in love with that foliage!!💘😍

@cyndi oh I agree, it’s all about the foliage 😍 was just intrigued about the flowers but can see why people remove them

@ShelleySnyder isn’t it fantastic! Usually the thing I pay most attention to now, thanks in big part to you ☺️😘

It is fantastic!! 🤗💘😍

@gjones they’re gorgeous, you and Shelley are responsible for my foliage love 🤣

@gjones you are so kind! Gotta love a good verigated leafed plant!💘😍

@gjones oh I fully agree! @ShelleySnyder is most definitely the gt’s foliage queen 😁

Ju maka me blush!🤦💘😍

@ShelleySnyder no idea why but I read that in the voice of Cake Boss Buddy Valastro 🤣

😂😂😂💘😍

Beautiful where do you get your flowers?

@aj50 thank you Ann 😁 mostly I buy them from online places but this was from a little nursery near where I live 😊

@gjones the flowers aren’t as bright as I expected but still all about the foliage 😍

Cataloging

Very nice!💘😍

@ShelleySnyder thank you Shelley ☺️

Welcome!💘😍

Lovely Kerry 💚

@gjones thanks Katy 😀 it’s the more subtle of the 3 germanium I bought and the flowers are a softer colour too

@sieveheadsarah thanks Sarah 😃

Or this? @cazstaks
