  1. Wrong! Geraniums should always be red.

  2. I agree with the above post. My all white house in southern Pennsylvania needs a stronger color than pink to tone down the summer blinding white of the house.

  3. Going to call foul here. Geraniums are red. Period.

    1. Yes, you’re right. Others agree. All geraniums on Capri, aside Lake Como, fronting mountain views in Cortina d’Ampezzo, and growing in Venetian window boxes, are red.

  4. The light pink seems rather pallid. Better: deep hot pink, approaching cerise - looks great against weathered Nantucket shingles.

  5. You mean that flat, agriculturally deprived paradise somewhere out there beyond the Vineyard?

  7. I buy whatever appeals to me; those look beautiful though. I think I need pink for this summer.
