Whats this?

It's got a weird smell to it, any ideas...

 

Technically it is called Pelargonium.
But used to be called Geranium!
When it flowers you may be able to pin it down to which Pelargonium it is.

Thanks for your reply it says it's a scented plant, but at the moment there's a weird smell coming from it.

 

The smell is normal Harry, which is why I can't stand them!

 

It bloody stinks in other words lol.

 

I have lemon, orange, apple, and rose scented ones. I really like them. When you brush past them they give off loads of scent. There are quite a few different varieties out there. I want a cinnamon one!!

 

So what time of year does it flower, I hope the smell changes.

 

Sorry, the smell won't change. They'll flower right through the summer into autumn.

 

I think I need to get rid of this, is there any other indoor plant I can get which has a scented smell.

 

It's funny, I used to hate the smell of geranium leaves and then one year it was like a switch had been flipped and now I like it.

I think a lot of plants if kept indoors can be rather overpowering though - suppose it all depends on what scents you like, and how much you want to smell them!

 

Anything fruity

 

How about a lemon tree?
