One flower that is emblematic of summer is the red geranium.
Red geraniums are eye-catching and colorful and I love them.
However, for some reason, the classic red geranium doesn't do well under my care.
Like petunias, classic geraniums are generally antagonistic
to all my attempts to nurture them.
I do better with ivy geranium and scented geranium,
but, alas, my heart belongs to the standard.
Who could resist this kind of perfection?

Or this?

The symbolism of the geranium is rather peculiar.
Some sources say it reflects grace, respect, value.
Other say stupidity.
I guess you can take your pick.
But to choose stupidity seems rather--you know.
