Geraniums are just one of my many interests having shown my plants in competition at age 14. My other hobbies are photographic astronomy, photography, gold prospecting, wine tasting and oil painting. In the real world, before retirement, I was an urban planner designing residential communities and golf courses. My friends call me the Renaissance man.
P. cordifolium 'Carolyn's Citrine'
'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.
