    So what are geraniums David? Are they cranesbill or something else? I call both pelargoniums and cranesbill geraniums.

    Cranesbill are Geraniums, Aaron. What we all call Geraniums are actually Pelargoniums. Blame the botanists, they are the ones who turned Chrysanthemums into Dendrodiums. Or some such.:D
