did you know the geranium gets it's name from the Greek γέρανος ("géranos"), meaning crane, there's even one called Geranium sanguineum, also known as bloody geranium or bloody crane's-bill, the name sanguineum refers to the red color the leaves take during autumn. The crane bird also symbolizes many things, long life (it was fabled that they could live thousands of years), an omen, a symbol for peace. Another thing the crane symbolizes is marriage, a happy and long marriage. These birds are one of the few that will mate for life as well!

HELLO??? I didn't know the lore was that deep, how did I never look this up???

Did you ALSO know that geraniums are edible? So Rem was lying to Vash when she said he couldn't eat them v_v

Even after flowering the seed heads of Allium ‘Globe Master’ and Allium ‘Purple Sensation’ still look great in this border. They remind me of fireworks above the Geranium sanguineum (crane's-bill).

Since you like purple and talk a lot about your garden I might have a few suggestions. The trialling bell-flower is a pretty purple flower that doesn't need a lot of care. Another one that I like, it's one of my favourite plants in my garden, is the larkspur, especially the black knight variety. It's a very intense purple. Also the geranium sanguineum, not sure what the proper English name for it is but it's a cute little flower that can be several shades from white, pink to multiple kinds of purple.

I think if I were to deliberately plant flowers at this point, I'd want to only plant what's native to continue to help my local pollinators. They are very much enjoying my garden and I don't want to do anything to harm them.

Der Blut-Storchschnabel 'Apfelblüte' erfreut sich immer größerer Beliebtheit. Die einzeln wachsenden Blüten sind weiß bis zartrosa und erinnern an die Blüte des Apfelbaumes. Die schalenförmigen Blüten sind zart geädert. Daher wirkt die Blüte von (bot.) Geranium sanguineum var. striatum 'Apfelblüte' besonders filigran und zerbrechlich. Sie bietet reichlich Nektar und Pollen für Bienen, Hummeln und Schmetterlingen an. The Blood Cranesbill 'Apple Blossom' is becoming increasingly popular. The individually growing flowers are white to pale pink and are reminiscent of apple tree blossom. The cupped flowers are delicately veined. This makes the flower of (bot.) Geranium sanguineum var. striatum 'Apple Blossom' look particularly delicate and fragile. She offers plenty of nectar and pollen for bees, bumblebees and butterflies.
