An albino form of Geranium robertianum, originally thought to have been traced to Sir Charles Isham by A. Erodium Bowles (1914). It forms masses of low growing white starry flowers, .4 of an inch in diameter with notched petals over deeply divided ferny dark green leaves. Unlike the rambunctious species Geranium robertianum, which cannot be recommended for the garden, this plant is relatively well behaved. Be sure to sow seed or transplant seedlings in the spring after all danger of frost is past.

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.
