Often when you buy them they have been grown and disbudded before sale. this encourages them to make new flowers bigger than before. its a plant hormone thing. so you can either have lots of smaller flowers or remove some buds and get bigger flowers. { i assume you are talking about the pelargonium geraniums rather than the perrenial hardy types]
