X-Flowers

This is a variety of pelargonium commonly known as Martha Washington (or Lady Washington) Geraniums; in the UK, they are called Regal Pelargoniums. (Go figure.)





The label for this plant with the solid maroon flowers is open to debate. It is also a pelargonium. We suspect it is a mutation of the plant with the white-edged flowers or, perhaps more accurately, it is a reversion to the form of the parent plant from which the white-edged mutation was produced.



Too confusing? Try this then: plants grown from cuttings = clones of the parent plant; plants grown from seeds = anything goes.
