Amaryllis and True Capitatum

Amaryllis.



Sky.



Pelargonium capitatum
Rose-scented pelargonium or True Capitatum

The leaves on this geranium have a wonderful rose scent when bruised. Gentle winds often cause enough friction to imbue the air with its heavenly perfume. The plant also known as true capitatum is grown for its essential oil which has commercial applicability in perfumes, potpourri and skin care products.

Two, better than one.

Amaryllis


I grew these hybrid Amaryllis plants from seed (from Germany) a few years ago.
