Bathgate, I have several of these (or similar) called pelargonium Vancouver centennial. The flowers are very red and look awkward against the leaves. I bought it for the leaves and they look like Hywels. The leaves are very special. I wonder if they call it "Vancouver centennial" in UK too.

Thanks for the explanation Klahanie. It must have been developed by a hybrider living in Vancouver. Oh well, I would like it just for the leaves & clip off the flowers.

Thank you both ...
Yes it's called Vancouver Centennial :)
I don't like the flowers either but I feel cruel when I cut them off :D

I didn't write the name in the title initially, because I've lost the label and couldn't remember what it was, so thank you for the reminder Klahanie :)

I have this one Hywel but just about finished now the cold has come. I've had it a lot of years and just take cuttings each autumn. I really don't mind the red flowers at all. Another of yours that looks very healthy. Don't you have any pests?

I have two pests. One is called Bella and the other is called Beryl ;)
