Geum

[puddleshark]

Three of the four gardens I visited this week had displays of Geums - gorgeous orange flowers hovering above the earth. I am a Geum convert.

I had to look up the word geum. The wikipedia entry was interesting and had great photos. What magical flowers! Makes me wish I was a person who had a garden.

Aren't they glorious! They seem to be quite fashionable in gardens here, and I can see why.

Pretty.

They are. I love those jewel-like colours.

Ooh! How beautiful and elegant. I wonder how hard they are to grow.

I think they are related to Wood Avens, which grows everywhere, so I expect they are probably quite easy to grow.

Those are beautiful, and so beautifully photographed.
