Friday Bloom Blogging

Here is the fancy-leaved geranium (I believe this variety is "Vancouver Centennial") that came back from apparent death this spring. Usually the flowers on fancy-leaved geraniums are nothing special, but this plant has amazing strobing red blooms -- since I took this photo, they've increased exponentially. Also in the pot -- a "Scarlet Emperor" runner bean, left over from an unfortunate experiment in edible landscaping last year, that I stuck in the pot on a whim. The vine twining around the back of the planter, and I'm going to train it up a string to the eaves of the garage.
