There have been a number of introductions of different color forms of Pelargonium echinatum, some with blotches on all petals, some with blotches only on the upper petals. 'Julie Scheller' is the original "sweetheart" pelargonium with little raspberry hearts on the upper petals and no blotches on the lower petals.

Plant of the Month

Monsonia speciosa

This is an unusual member of the Geranium Family. The leaf lobes are very fine and narrow, and the flowers look like white tissue paper with notched margins and a pink central blotch. The anthers are orange. The plant grows in the winter and flowers in the spring. It must be allowed to go dormant during the summer. At that time all water should be withheld. It does well in a container, but should be protected from temperatures below freezing in the winter. It can be propagated from root cuttings or seeds. The roots are bright yellow and semi fibrous. It comes from the winter rainfall areas of the Western Cape of South Africa and grows in sandy loam.
