Red Geranium, Pink Roses and What's the Yellow One?

It seems that the weather today is not so friendly. I heard over the radio that the streets and highways in Bavaria, Germany were very icy and slippery this morning, thus caused some car accidents to some drivers. Be careful especially to my friends around in Bavaria.

I found again some flowers in my External Hard Drive. I know I have lot of them especially the ones taken from our garden. I just have a bit difficulty in trying to find it in my EHD because until now I still don't have the time to arrange my flower files. I know one day I can find time to fix and arrange my picture files.

Here are some flowers from our garden. I hope to see them again in summer. I need to plant the others again because they won't come back after winter time like the red Geranium here.

red Geranium in our garden from last summer.

I guess this flower belongs to Asteraceae or Compositae family...it has two visitors at the same time.

Pink rose looking on the cloudy day..will see them again this spring time!

Geranium and the Yellow Petunia

It's been such a long time since I miss joining these memes below. Now, I am slowly back and sharing the Geranium and yellow petunia from our garden last summer.

Pelargonium or Red Geranium in Our Garden

As I bought this red geranium, there was a name on the flower pot that says it's name as Geranien. It is a German word which simply means in English Geranium. I always buy these flowers ever year. Now I found out that there are other kinds of geranium that are winter hard. It means that they will survive the winter and will come back in the next spring time. I want to buy those winter hard geranium, the nest I will go to the garden center. This flower is also called Pelargonium...very interesting! I got here a photo of Red Geranium fresh from our garden!

Scientific Classification:

Kingdom: Plantae
Division: Magnoliophyta
Class: Magnoliopsida
Order: Geraniales
Family: Geraniaceae
Genus: Pelargonium

Pelargonium is a genus of flowering plants which includes about 200 species of perennials, succulents, and shrubs, commonly known as geraniums or storksbills. Confusingly, Geranium is the correct botanical name of a separate genus of related plants often called Cranesbills. Both genera are in the Family Geraniaceae. Linnaeus originally included all the species in one genus, Geranium, but they were later separated into two genera by Charles L’Héritier in 1789. Gardeners sometimes refer to the members of Genus Pelargonium as "pelargoniums" in order to avoid the confusion, but the older common name "geranium" is still in regular use.
