A to Z Herbarium: Geranium

Hi Sara – love rose-scented geraniums … and particularly rose-scented jellies – there’s just that something extra about their taste and aroma … interesting about snakes … so much we don’t know – yet we are reminded to look to our ancestors for their uses … they delight in the garden too – cheers Hilary

Thank you for the post. I will be filling the pots on the porch with red geraniums this weekend!

I did not know that geraniums may deter snakes – I’m going to try that on my back porch!

Interesting stuff here! Thanks. 🙂

Interesting theme, I just found your blog today. My a-to-z challenge is all about LEGO, come check it out if that’s your thing!

I am loving your post for the challenge. 🙂

I love geraniums, they’re so beautiful. Now I know what they stand for!

I love geraniums. They make me think of my Grandmother, she always planted them in her planters and her garden. Great post, thanks for sharing.

With my luck I’ll eat the wrong kind… Happy A-to-Z-ing 🙂

Hmm, geraniums . I don’t think they grow in neck of the world.

We never had them in the house because they are poisonous to pets.

Geraniums are pretty,especially the rose geraniums. Good stuff.

My mom always had geraniums in her garden.

But why would a witch want them anywhere near their cottage then?… 😀
(We used to have geraniums on our 8th floor balcony)

I did not know that about the snakes. EXCEPT for snails and slugs sure loved them. When I lived in San Francisco as a child, they ate up our red geraniums. Used to make my mom so mad.

Geraniums grow feral as weeds in my part of Australia. (Then again, so do Calla lillies.)

They always have a particular smell.

Gell, I bought red and pink geraneums just yesterday. It’s a flower I really like, I always have a few plants on my window. I always also try to meke them last through the winter, because I knwo peopel who keep the same plant through the years, but so far, not luck at it…

I wonder if I could find a rose scented geranium tea. I bet it’d be tasty and benefit my health.

I wish we could grow geranium in Delhi. Well apart from the winter of course. I’d love to use them on doorknobs to ward off snakes 🙂

Geraniums always look so bright and cheery in flower boxes. And now I know they’re snake repellents – good to know. I’ve just purchased a lovely rose geranium essential oil, so I can appreciate the fragrance even though the flowers aren’t available here yet.
