Came to us from the Regal Preservation Project. The plant is charming and has deep red upper petals with dark brown veins and blotches. The lower petals are white with strawberry blotches. Cynthia Pardoe tells us that it comes from Sicily and she saw in in the botanic garden in Palermo. It is an old and rare variety.

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.
