My office pelargonium again.
I love this plant. I love the flowers, and I love its persistence despite the poor husbandry under which it suffers.

About Me
- I need orange
- Helen Frankenthaler is an artist who does abstract prints. One is called "I Need Yellow." I love contrast, and I love saturated color. When choosing a blog name, I tried "iloveorange" which was taken, and then I remembered Helen and went for ineedorange.

They are "neglect resistant" aren't they?
I always like the monster geraniums smooshed up against the glass in the dry cleaner's windows...
I really need to wrap some dirt around some of its stems with plastic, encouraging it to root there and start over. I am pretty sure I've had this one for more than two years, and they prefer to rest in the winter, I think, rather than just going and going and going..... It is definitely getting tired, and it would be a shame if I didn't do anything to try to help it renew itself.
Oooh, yeah, and the venerable jade plants in those windows, too............. !!
