Pelargoniums (Species and Primary Hybrids)

price	$6.00
The name refers to the hairy leaves of this species, but we can't say that we've noticed that these leaves are particularly hairy. They seem to be succulent and branched. The section Otidia is very confused. This plant is vegetatively propagated from a selection made in South Africa, but we must say that we're not confident of its identification. The flowers are white and reflexed. It occurs on the northwest coast of Cape Province in South Africa.

Carolyn's Citrine
Photo by Donn C. Reiners

'Carolyn's Citrine' was discovered by Lance Reiners of Santa Cruz, California and named for his father Donn's wife, Carolyn. It is very dramatic pelargonium with bright yellow cordate (heart shaped) leaves with a variable mid green central blotch and bright lavender pink flowers with a network of reddish purple veins on the two large upper petals. The three lower petals are narrow and unmarked. It grows up to three to five feet high and wide, but can be kept smaller with judicious pruning. It should be grown in temperatures above 32 degrees F. It is patented and propagation is restricted to licensed propagators.
