Succulents Part 1--Pelargonium

So the thing about succulents is that they aren't only the hens and chicks and sedums you find in people's gardens that are all the rage. In fact, they are a wide variety of plants, spanning multiple orders. Some have succulent leaves while others have succulent stems. Cactuses are succulents, but not all succulents are cactuses. Defining what exactly makes a succulent is a little tricky. For example, cabbage leaves are considered by some to be succulent, but tulip and onion leaves apparently aren't.

Anyway, since succulents span so many plant groups, I'll separate these parts out that way. All photos mine. Unedited.

Pelargoniums are stem succulents. Often called "geraniums" in garden centres, but that's a misnomer. Geranium is a different genus and whereas pelargoniums tend to prefer tropical climates, true geraniums prefer temperate climates. They are both in the same family, though.

The black swallowtails, female on the magenta flowers, male on the red ones, were raised by yours truly. The katydid is simply a friend.

An outdoor kitchen. A well-designed area for preparing and serving food can be the perfect complement to an area for outdoor entertaining. This integrated food preparation area, with its wealth of storage space and worktops, is possible in a hot, dry, predictable climate.

Plant of the Day

Friday 2 February 2024

The tuberous perennial Pelargonium 'Ardens' (species geranium) originated in the Nineteenth Century as a hybrid between Pelargonium lobatum x Pelargonium fulgidum. It flowers in the spring and early summer on tall stems, after which it becomes semi-dormant, shedding its silvery-green leaves when minimal watering is required to prevent dehydration.
