Pelargonium 'Vancouver Centennial'

First to get going ❤️ #pelargonium #pelargonium-vancouver-centennial #foliagefriday

Perfect (obviously) 😍

Pretty 🔥

Very pretty. Mine just bloomed indoors. Time to harden them off for outdoors. 😍

#foliagefriday

Beautiful 😍

@sieveheadsarah @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom @hkyfvr @emch @italydiva @KOutdoors thank you ladies 😀 even after having it for a few years it’s still lovely seeing it come back to life every spring. Colours are at their best this time of year too ❤️🤎💚

Very welcome Kerry. Must get mine outdoors as the colour is too green. Yours is so pretty ❤️❤️

Great contrast between the leaves and flowers. Beautiful 🤩

@jeatacake @ukjohnny thank you both ☺️ it’s one of the few that have complimentary flowers 😂 some look so odd when they’re in bloom 😜

#pelargonium #pelargonium-vancouver-centennial

That looks familiar. So pretty together. 😍😍😍

@hkyfvr thought you might recognise this one 😉 the leaves change so much throughout the season. Have been mostly brown all summer but now it’s the complete opposite 💚🤎

Mine were quite healthy all summer and are getting a bit brown now. Almost the opposite of yours. They still look good though as do yours 👍💚🤎

@hkyfvr mine have joined yours now 😛 it’s getting cold and they wanna sleep for winter - I don’t blame them 😂

Wish we could sleep for the Winter. 😂🤣

@hkyfvr I’m going to give it a good go 😴😆

#pelargonium #pelargonium-vancouver-centennial #foliagefriday

Wow don't even need flowers with this kind of foliage! 😍😍

@ublaszko it’s stunning isn’t it 🤩 just love those green edges 🤎💚

Yours are so beautiful Kerry. 👍❤️💚

Wow! I do believe fancy leafed geraniums like you! Wow!💘😍

@hkyfvr thank you Diane ☺️ it’s a few years old now but still makes an effort 🤎💚

@ShelleySnyder thank you Shelley Shelley 😊 I like them too 😛 all my fussing over them seems to be paying off ☺️

I remember yours from last summer. Just after I started on here. Was so impressed with the foliage. Very welcome Kerry 👍💚❤️

@hkyfvr I’m pleased you have one now so you can appreciate it in person 😁

Thanks Kerry. I was surprised when I found it. Will enjoy it daily 👍❤️💚😁 @kez001uk

Such beautiful leaves on all these pelargoniums 🥰

@jeatacake some look so good you kinda wish they didn’t have flowers 😜

#pelargonium #pelargonium-vancouver-centennial

💚❤️💚

That's beautiful ❤❤❤

So sorry to hear about your Nan Kerry....(I was reading updates and noticed your post) they leave a big hole in your life...💝

That's a lovely one ♥️♥️♥️

@lovemygarden65 thanks Marilyn 😀

@pelly thanks Jane 😃

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom thank you Elaine 🥰 was sudden even though we knew she wouldn’t be around much longer. Went on her terms, just how she lived life 😂 just a rubbish time and made even harder by all this virus stuff 😞

@midnightgardener thank you Chris 😄

@gjones thanks Katy 😁

#pelargonium #pelargonium-vancouver-centennial

My mum has this, it's gorgeous. I must get some cuttings 😍😍😍

Looks so good Kerry, mine is so slow to grow 🤔😣

Wow loving this looks great on its own in that pot really shows it's beauty 😍

Yesss!! Lovin these colors

Another beauty! 💘😍

@pelly it’s a great one, you’d love it. The flowers are quite different looking too ❣️

@sieveheadsarah thanks Sarah 😀 this was tiny last year but after a chop back in the spring it seems to have exploded, certainly the flowering side 😂 yours will get going in no time 😁

@Keely thanks Keely 😃 surprised I managed to keep it alive over winter but it’s thriving now. Seems happier in a terracotta pot too ❤️

@jmlincoln thank you Jackie 😄 it’s just starting to get it’s lime green back in the leaves so will be extra colourful soon ❤️💚🤎

@ShelleySnyder thank you Shelley 😁 love everything about this one 😋

Very welcome!💘😍

#pelargonium #pelargonium-vancouver-centennial

That's very striking and pretty 😊😊♥️♥️

@midnightgardener thanks Christine ☺️ just love the shape of the petals. It’s so delicate even though it’s the brightest red ever 😂

@kez001uk Yes those petals are super ♥️♥️

The colour is so intense

@alan1111 it’s definitely a bright one. Small & mighty 😛

#pelargonium #pelargonium-vancouver-centennial

Won't be long 😍

@pelly it’s been flowering away all winter but think it might be cut back before it gets to flower 🤭

#pelargonium #pelargonium-vancouver-centennial

Very pretty pic 💛 💕

You’ve got flowers coming 👍🏼😀

I need to get one of those beauties for Kerry's Korner 😆 😉

Looking happy with an early spring in the greenhouse 👍

@matewe thank you Cori 😀

@sieveheadsarah they’ve been pretty constant all winter. Not many at a time but the greenhouse has kept them flowering 😁

@ublaszko yesss! With the bright orange flowers it’s pretty much your worst nightmare 🤪

@jeatacake they’ve done so well over the winter. Quite proud I managed to keep them alive 🤣

😱😱😱

@ublaszko cut em off 😉😂

Looking at them you'd never think they'd been through winter 👍

@gjones this one does but the other 2 have got a bit leggy 😐

@gjones I’d prefer mine like that too. I’ll take your advice and leave it til spring before I cut it back, thanks Katy 😊 sounds like you learned a great deal from your mum ☺️

I've found out my Mum has one of these Kerry, we know whose plant it'll soon be 👍🏼🤔😂

Still looks like summer in your garden Kerry 🤩

Great colourful foliage

@gjones I’m warming to the flowers now so little is in bloom 😅

@sieveheadsarah 😂 you’ll love it Sarah 😛 the foliage so stunning that the flowers come a poor second. Hoping I can overwinter it 🤞🏻

@jeatacake there’s a fair bit still in flower but it’s all getting wrecked by the relentless rain. It’s been over 4 weeks of it now 😔

@alan1111 the foliage is definitely what you grow it for 😍

Without doubt 😜

I know, I'm fed up with it. I'm surprised there's not loads of flooding 😧

@jeatacake it’s surprising everywhere isn’t flooded, just seems to never stop 😫 I’d cry for real but would only add to the problem 🤣🤣🤣

Well one thing's for sure, there shouldn't be a water shortage, but then again.......😖

@jeatacake 😂 they’d still put out hosepipe bans in this weather I expect 🤣

#foliagefriday

This is just fabulous Kerry

Beautiful foliage

Love it 😍

Fantastic!💘😍

Beautiful 😍

Love these pointy leaves...

This looks great👍

@sieveheadsarah thanks Sarah 😊

@alan1111 thank you Alan ☺️

@lovemygarden65 thank you Marilyn 😁

@ShelleySnyder thanks Shelley 😄

I picked one of these up recently, great foliage isn’t it?

@richard.spicer.7906 it’s gorgeous and just getting better the more sun it gets. The flowers don’t really go with the foliage though 😂 hoping I can overwinter this and my other 2 pelargoniums 🤞🏻

Yes, me too. I think I was lucky last year. They were outside in polytunnel though, but didn’t water them at all. Brought them into the shed on really cold nights

@richard.spicer.7906 oh so they will make it if they’re protected. That’s great news 😁 is your polytunnel as warm as an unheated greenhouse during the colder months?

@gjones I was amazed at how different they look after the sun they’ve had. The green and brown look great together 😋

Love this!!💘😍

@ShelleySnyder thank you Shelley 😁

My pleasure!💘😍

How pretty that is

@lesliecole49 the flowers seem a little pointless with leaves like that 😍

@columbiariver it’s lovely isn’t it 😍

@gjones they really are, and the colours are becoming much more intense. Just adore them 😋

Such striking foliage.

@novicegardenlover thanks Susan ☺️ just wish the flowers matched up a little better 😂

2 in one. Great leaves & flowers 👌

I see what you mean 😂

@cyndi I think so too ☺️

Cataloging

Gorgeous!💘😍

@ShelleySnyder thanks Shelley 😁 the flowers look lovely but the foliage is gorgeous 🍁

Fantastic foliage!! Really attractive 😊😊I love it Kez ❤❤

@midnightgardener thanks Christine 😃 it’s an attention grabber for sure! 😛

I agree! You are most welcome!💘😍

@columbiariver thanks Laura 😄 it really is a lovely one ☺️

That's a beauty Kerry, can't wait to see the flowers 😍. Where did you get your fab purchases from??

@gjones so autumnal looking 😍 does it come back every year?

@sieveheadsarah thanks Sarah 😁 there’s a little family-run greenhouse just up the road from me. They only grow annuals but it’s just a massive greenhouse crammed full of gorgeous plants. They always seem to perform better too 😊

Ooh, lucky you to have one so close by, I think those family run places are definitely the best, the nearest one to me is 26 miles away, good job really as I'd be there all the time. 😀😱

@sieveheadsarah thankfully I don’t drive or I’d be the same, visiting on a far too regular basis 😂 they seem to take much more care over their plants. I guess because it’s the only thing they do it’s a priority, unlike garden centres where plants are just a portion of their profits. They also have a wider variety which I like
