| Silver Bi-coloured zonal pelargonium "Sammi Brougham" |
Another beautiful pelargonium raised by the late Brian West. Sammi Brougham has single white flowers which are heavily speckled and splashed with bright red, set against silver and green bi-coloured leaves. This is a cross betwen Chelsea Star and Vectis Volcano.
A couple of weeks ago members of The Pelargonium & Geranium Society Committee were at Wisley for the weekend to promote the Society. It was a successful weekend and we all enjoyed chatting to members of the public, giving them advice and explaining the various types of pelargoniums. Members who joined The Pelargonium & Geranium Society over the weekend were given a free scented pelargonium supplied by David and Susie Taylor of Gosbrook Pelargoniums.
Each year the staff at Wisley put on a magnificent display of pelargoniums in the Glasshouse. It will run now until 16th June. It is well worth a visit, but if you are not able to, then here are some photo's of the displays..
I have a Sammi Brougham, and only found out when I saw your photo. Mine has separate flowers of pink and then red, and then striped, and then half red/half striped.
