I've never really been aware of pelagoniums (pelogonia?) being so beautiful. In fact I can't recall any in gardens I know. I'll have to keep an eye open for them.
'Tis the last pelagonium of summer Left blooming alone; All her lovely companions Are faded and gone; No flower of her kindred, No pelagoniumbud is nigh, To reflect back her blushes, To give sigh for sigh.

ReplyDeleteIt's almost as if that pinky violet colour has been painted on by a watercolourist.

ReplyDeleteLeft blooming alone;
All her lovely companions
Are faded and gone;
No flower of her kindred,
No pelagoniumbud is nigh,
To reflect back her blushes,
To give sigh for sigh.
