Good afternoon My name is Yulia, I live in Voronezh. The love for pelargoniums in my case is most likely a hereditary phenomenon. My grandmother, whose pelargoniums grew and bloomed on all the windows, loved them very much. She loved them immensely, every time she watered them she told us how great pelargonium cleanses the air and even tried to treat us with it.. As I remember now, I remember the rolled up leaf that was stuck in my ear, the oil that she herself prepared in a water bath from the leaves and flowers of pelargonium .. And often a kind smile flashes on her face when I remember how she, being a candidate of agricultural sciences and having worked all her life at a research institute, also in the field of agriculture, got angry and angry when one of her neighbors dared to call her pelargoniums geraniums.

I would like to say a big thank you to the forum organizers and all the forum members for being there, for the fact that in them I found interesting and passionate people. For the experience, for the opportunity to admire beautifully grown plants

A special and big THANK YOU to everyone who helped and is helping new and so desirable varieties to settle in my collection

It’s hard to say now which of the pelargoniums was the first and favorite, they always grew in the house, and now each is loved in its own way.

I'll start with Norrlanda. It's a beauty familiar to everyone, which I think is in almost every collection because it doesn't look like any of the other pelargoniums. The buds bloom for a long time, majestically.
