The cranesbills make up the genus Geranium of 422 species of annual, biennial, and perennial plants found throughout the temperate regions of the world and the mountains of the tropics, but mostly in the eastern part of the Mediterranean. These attractive flowers will grow in any soil as long as it is not waterlogged. Propagation is by semi-ripe cuttings in summer, by seed or by division in autumn or spring.
Flora von Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz 1885Confusingly, "geranium" is also the common name of members of the genus Pelargonium, which were formerly classified in the cranesbill genus. In the United States, true Geraniums are frequently distinguished from the less hardy Pelargoniums as (rather redundantly) "hardy geraniums" by gardeners and in the horticultural trade. One can make the distinction between the two by looking at the flowers : Geranium has symmetrical flowers, while Pelargonium has irregular or maculate petals. Other former members of the genus are now classified in genus Erodium, including the plants known as filarees in North America.
The name "cranesbill" derives from the appearance of the seed-heads, which have the same shape as the bill of a Crane. The genus name is derived from the Greek word geranos, meaning 'crane'. The long, palmately cleft leaves are broadly circular in form. Their rose, pink to blue or white flowers have 5 petals.
Cranesbills are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Brown-tail and Mouse Moth.

Enfes tonlarda yumuşak renkleriyle hoş bir çiçek kompozisyonu daha Fevzi Bey, tebrikler. Bu bakış açısında arka planın bluruyla hoş bir kompozisyon. Çiçeğin eflatununun fevkaladeliğine bakarken Yaradan'ı hatırlamamak elde mi?
Selam ve sevgiler!

Merhaba Fevzi,
Lovely geranium with its typical colors and shape. Very good blurred background, though a litte soft in focus. I wonder why your Sony can not focus this so neat flower perfectly. Have you any idea?
Saludos sinceros y buenas tardes.

Hello Fevzi,
A pleasant composition, a minimalistic approach... Very nice!
Greetings,
Pablo -

Cranesbill Geranium is decidedly one of the most beautiful wild flowers, Fevzi. I shot some of them in a sub Himalayan region in India a couple of years ago and have posted one or two here on the TN during my early days on the site.
Very well composed shot, my friend.
TFS.

Çiçek ve fon güzel bir ikili olmuş.Tebrikler..Selamlar..

Merhaba Abi,
Sanki havada asılı duruyor. Ellerine sağlık, çok güzel olmuş. Selamlar
