What varieties of pelargonium are there, and what are the flower meanings of different colors?
Pelargonium, also called geranium and "rula red", has beautiful flowers, bright colors and distinctive flower shapes, and is deeply loved by people. Next let us take a look at what the flower meaning of pelargonium is.
Pelargonium is native to South Africa and is a perennial herbaceous flower. The leaves are palmate with long stalks, the leaf margins are mostly serrated, and the leaf surface has relatively deep ring-shaped markings. The corolla usually has five petals, and the inflorescence is umbel-shaped, growing at the top of an upright peduncle. Because the clustered flowers are dense like a ball, it is also called geranium. The flower colors vary greatly among red, white, pink and purple. The flowering period begins in early winter and lasts until early summer of the following year. It can be potted indoors and outdoors; it can be used as a flower for spring flower beds.
Its height is 30-60 cm. The stem is upright, woody at the base, fleshy in the upper part, much branched or unbranched, with obvious nodes, densely covered with short pubescence, and has a strong fishy smell. The leaves are alternate; the stipules are broadly triangular or ovate, 8-15 mm long, covered with pubescence and glandular hairs; the petiole is 3-10 cm long, covered with fine pubescence and glandular hairs; the leaf blade is circular or kidney-shaped, heart-shaped at the base, 3-7 cm in diameter, with wavy shallow lobes at the margin, with rounded teeth, both sides covered with transparent short pubescence, and there is a dark red horseshoe-shaped ring inside the leaf margin on the surface.
