| Posted by SongofJoy (Clarksville, TN - Zone 6b) on Jan 1, 2012 3:19 PM "Geranium" is also the common name of members of the genus Pelargonium (commonly known as 'storksbill' in distinction from 'cranesbill'). Linnaeus originally included all the species in one genus, Geranium, but they were later separated into two genera by Charles l’Héritier in 1789. [ Reply to this comment | |
