Pelargoniums
Growing in Nottingham for the past 4 years and recently found my way to a Nottingham branch meeting. A few plants on a windowsill has very quickly turned into a greenhouse full!
Attempting to grow a range of turbinicarpus, coryphantha, escobaria and several other cactus genera. Tylecodons, pelargoniums and conophytums keep me occupied in the winter and an ever expanding number of gasteria live under the bench.

Re: Pelargoniums
Thanks everyone.
Tina, the appendiculatum photo is a couple of weeks old. The greenery is now very much dying back and I’ve stopped watering.
I’ve got a few plants that are still growing new leaves so I’m still watering them. Schizopetalum and bowkeri fall into this category and haven’t flowered yet.
The other plants are all dying back now. Oblongatum completely loses its leaves before flowering.

Re: Pelargoniums
I’ve noticed seed pods recently and for the first time today seeds on my p. appendiculatum.
1. They look stunning.
2. Will I only get one seed per pod?
3. Would anyone be interested in some seed if I manage to collect more than one?

Re: Pelargoniums
In a fully fertilised Geraniaceae flower you should get 5 seeds.
I don't know if Pelargonium are released explosively like Geranium and Sodium but if they are make sure you catch them before they're fired all over your greenhouse or snip the tip of the rostrum off as it develops to stop them being flung away.

Re: Pelargoniums
Might chuck the plant in a bag then! This one was hanging on to the seed pod for dear life.
