Some fabulously french flowers for you......


What is more french than the geranium, I must admit I have not been a fan of them when I have lived in other countries but I am slowly falling under their spell.

They just seem to belong in France, it is like they are meant to be here.

I bought some fabulous pink and white ones today but do not have my camera with me so will post some photos next week.

In the meantime I hope that these photos will help you understand why I think they belong in France......


I love these ones, they look fabulous on their own....



But then these look just as fabulous, grouped together......

And this one is simply perfect....

Have a fabulous Friday!

    Any beautiful flower against a stone facade makes me happy! And these are just the cherry on the top!

    You're so right. I'm not a big geranium fan, but in France, they look great. They are just so right there.

    As an American gardener, I have never liked or used geraniums, but I can't imagine a French garden without them. They are transformed in a French garden. I really like your blog-thanks for stopping by mine!

    So very French, red geraniums in the window boxes.
    I have a pot near the driveway with red geraniums and I never like the smell of them. Give me roses or something that has a lovely fragrance.

    have a great weekend
    Hugs

    Beautiful images, the terracotta pots contrasting against the older stone, the bright fresh geraniums are so european I just love them. Thanks for the lovely reminder of Spring/Summer in France!

    I absolutely adore this post.. My grandfather used to love geraniums, and his balcony in Italy was filled with them.. and so, like my mom, I always plant geraniums in pots in front of our home.. so beautiful, and they remind me of my grandparents.. My favorite is the martha Washington .. the 2 tones are so lively...

    Thanks for this wonderful post.

    Geraniums are hugely popular in Quebec too. I always put them in balconnières on my facade and play with the colors from year to year. I've long loved the reds and now falling for corals. Great pictures!

    I am hoping that they survive as I am a bit like that with plants. Last year my plants on our terrace looked fabulous but it was thanks to a guest who carefully watered them every morning before breakfast for two weeks. After that I felt a bit guilty so managed to remember to water them most days :-)
