Pelargonium 'Sleurink's Robin' Since Robin's are always associated with Christmas, 'Sleurink's Robin' is a pelargonium that always reminds me of Christmas. It is a dwarf, semi-double pelargonium with very dark green leaves and is from Holland. It was introduced in the UK by Beckwood Nurseries in 1978. Although 'Sleurink's Robin' is said to be a dwarf, it does not grow very big and tends to grow tall and straggly, so I like to grow it as a miniature. |
The following photo's of the San Diego Geranium Society 2010 Christmas Tree were taken by Cynthia Pardoe, who designed and made the Christmas Tree. Cynthia told me there were over 13,000 visitors to the San Diego Christmas Nites. I hope you will agree that it is most festive and a wonderful display of perlargoniums at this time of year. Enjoy!
I have never seen pelargoniums like this. Very festive!
ReplyDeleteThey are more versatile than most people think. I love to have them in a vase. Last for several weeks.
