Zonal Pelargonium Petite Blanche |
Petite Blanche is not seen much these days, but I love it for its femininity. Very unusual and pretty double flower heads of both pink and white on the same stem. This is a zonal pelargonium, with a very feint zone on the green leaves.
Petite Blanche was introduced by Greybridge Nurseries in the UK in 1978.
We went to Bournemouth for a few days earlier in the week to celebrate the wedding anniversary of Brian's cousin Sue and her husband Malcolm. One of the places we visited was Compton Acres. This is a privately owned garden, open to the public, which was created by Thomas William Simpson in the 1920's.
