Genus: Pelargonium
Species peltatum
Common Name: Ivy Geranium
Family: Geraniaceae
Order: Geraniales
Native: South Africa

Season: Spring, Summer to Fall

Note: This trailing plant is suitable for hanging baskets, containers, window boxes, and as a house plant. Pinching of the shoots will promote bushiness. Pelargoniums become more floriferous when the night temperature hovers around 50-60 F. Do not over water plant, this may cause brown water blisters on leaf surfaces (oedema). Monitor plant for aphids, whiteflies, and root or stem rots, especially in poorly-drained soils.

It's a nice flower but a little bit out of focus. DOF isn't perfect.
With a little bit more light it would have been better, I think.
But you can only show a detail, I will try a workshop for you.
Please have a look and let me know if you like it.

O - I see, I have made another workshop a few days ago - thats you, funny!

Have a nice day
Bye
