| Single zonal pelargonium "Beauty of Caulderdale" |
Of all the red pelargoniums, this single pelargonium has, I think, the softest bright red. She certainly lives up to her name of "Beauty of Caulderdale". The light green leaves are well zoned and contrast nicely with the red flowers. A strong grower which flowers profusely.
"Beauty of Caulderdale" was introduced by Cannell in 1868.

The flowers are very pretty, but leaves very nice. Regards.

HI there,
ReplyDeleteI have been trying to indentify this "single zonal red pelargonium" that I have been blessed with (wish I could attach a pic). It has been in my boyfriends family since the late 1800's/early 1900's and the story goes his great-grandmother smuggled it out of England and brought it home with her. The closest I can identify it with is the 'beauty of caulderale' or 'stadt bern'. However, my pelargonium has smaller, more dainty foliage and stems with a mature lead measuring about 1.5 - 2".
Any thoughts would be greatly welcomed,
Thanks so much,
nikki

ReplyDeleteHi Nikki - sounds like it might be a miniature or a small dwarf. Could it be Friesdorf? That has red single flowers and dainty dark green leaves. Check our the Pelargonium Register - http://thepelargoniumregister.com/
