@Jenny namaste Your plants look really great! Thanks also for putting a name to the variegated Geranium! I've grown it for many years on our balcony but never knew its name - until now!

I did a search & looked at the images & it is definitely the plant I've grow for so many years!

 

I've got that Pelargonium, as well, but never knew it had a name.

 

Thanks for the name from me also @Jenny namaste, I didn't know it. I've got about 20 cuttings of it !

 

It's a good doer...very robust, can overwinter in a sheltered spot and is generous with it's cuttings to give to friends,

A few years back I got some plain green shoots on several of the plants, but they had a lovely marking on the leaves so I kept a couple of pieces & rooted them & they have been growing on the balcony since then. The curious thing is that since then none of the variegated Geraniums have had any more of these green shoots! So I wonder if they might be sports - but, as far as I know, a sport only occurs normally on one plant so I also wonder if they are a regression but again theses plants are not grafted onto a different rootstock, like roses are for example. In fact they are all my own cuttings.

I'm going to upload some photos of this "variant" which I now describe as Salmon (for its colour):

I was sure that I'd had this Geranium for more than 2 years but I can't find any earlier pictures of this Geranium on my computer.
