Its interesting to see all the beautiful caudix forming Pelargonium flowers, so different than modern florist pelargoniums, thanks for sharing

The range of different species Pelargonium colours is amazing. My favourite is P. tricolor - black, white and scarlet all in one flower. Sadly I find it impossible to grow.

And almost impossible to find. I can get it through summer but haven't cracked how to get it through winter.

Why impossible to grow Ralph? Whats the problem with 'tricolor species'?

It dies, whatever I do. I've tried it in the greenhouse, in the garden,in the house, like a succulent, like a pot geranium. Nothing works. I have a fair success rate with most Pelargoniums, but not that one.

I suspect its impossible to find as most other folks also find it tricky.

Unless AnTTun is thinking of the Pelargonium with triple coloured leaves?

Apparently it comes from the winter rainfall area but can't take much moisture. Maybe 80/20 grit and compost?

It's such a weird colour. I bought my Pelargonium punctatum plant a few months ago so I haven't seen mine flower before. The spike's only about a centimetre or so high so I've still got a little while to wait.
