…at the geraniums in my garden.
I put lots and lots of geraniums in my garden each summer. I think they are lovely, so bright and cheerful. They come in lots of colours, they have variegated leaves and scented leaves. Their stems are upright or trailing and they are extremely tolerant and survive my ‘forgot to water the pots!’ moments as I get into bed at night.
Last Summer I planted only red ones, this year I have a mix of colour.
Helena started this wonderful meme which has become part of the family now! Ben sent me a picture yesterday with the caption:
‘saw this and thought of you and your looking up at things’
If I get a looking down one from him I’ll use them as a guest post…
Thank you Helena.
LOL at Ben’s message. Love the blue of the sky in the up perspective.

Great shots, Miriam. I love geraniums too, and they do well in Arizona’s heat. For whatever reason, I never set any out this summer…may have to see if my local nursery still carries them at this point.
I always have geraniums in my patio garden. They bloom all summer and always look good, no matter what the weather!
Oh, these are beautiful! (And so nice to have them both above and below!) I do love all the variety of colours, but the red ones are my favourites!
I love the smell of geraniums and am looking for one to put in my garden with a really strong scent. Love Ben’s comment – my Dad often asks if it is an ‘up and down’ day when we are on an outing
Such brilliant colour contrasts – and geraniums are wonderful for just looking after themselves, aren’t they!
