Scented Geraniums Gallery - Installment 1


1. If you are looking for basic info on Scented Geraniums,
just enter the words in the little search box to the right. You will get a lot.

2. Below are some new Scented Geranium photos, hot out of the digital camera of Dr. Hwei-Yiing Johnson of Lincoln University, who is doing research on SGs here at our greenhouses.

    
                  Almond                             Attar of Roses                        Cinnamon

We grow these wonderful plants for the fragrance of the foliage, but as you can see, the flowers aren't too shabby either!

   
         Cody's Nutmeg                          Eucalyptus                              Filbert 

The flowers range from fairly large and fairly garish to very small and extremely delicate. 

     
           Frensham Lemon                 Godfrey's Pride              Joy Lucille, Varigated

All scented geraniums have five petals, but they can be very different from each other.

     
          
    Lady Mary                         Rogers Delight                   Upright Coconut

This is just the first installment of what we hope will be a comprehensive gallery of Scented Geranium photos - flowers, foliage shapes and sizes, as well as pics of mature plants. As far as we can tell, it has never been done in a systematic, comparative fashion.

                                  
                   Snowflake Rose                          Forgot the name of this one, but I'll get  
                                                                       it tomorrow when it is light enough to see                                                                             in the greenhouse.

        
We're in the process of photographing the leaves as well, and will be able to match the leaves with the flowers in the not-too-distant future.

Stay tuned.

Hi,
I've very recently become acquainted with these wonderful plants
and am totally addicted! I picked up an Apple scented one yesterday at a local greenhouse.
