The Geranium Family: A Global Delight of Colors and Nectar From the enchanting Coombe Valley in Cornwall, UK to the picturesque Clare Glen woodland in County Armagh, Northern Ireland, the Geranium family graces us with its vibrant presence. In May, Herb Robert (Geranium robertianum) flowers bloom proudly, painting the landscapes with their delicate petals. Take a closer look at these beauties in Clare Glen as their stamens stand tall like tiny soldiers. But it's not just humans who appreciate these stunning flowers; nature's creatures find solace in them too. The Geranium Argus butterfly (Plebejus eumedon) finds nourishment from Wood Cranesbill (Geranium), while Southern Storksbills (Pelargonium australe) attract Tasmania's native insects during December. Traveling across continents, we discover Wood Cranesbill (Geranium sylvaticum) thriving amidst Muker Meadows in Swaledale, Yorkshire and Nordtirol's Austrian Alps during July. These resilient plants provide sustenance for fascinating species such as the Broad-bordered Bee Hawk-moth (Hemaris fuciformis), gracefully nectaring on Finnish Wood Cranesbills under June's sun. Even Male Swallowtail butterflies (Papilio machaon) can't resist indulging themselves with this floral feast. Back home in Broxwater, Cornwall UK or Norfolk gardens during April and June respectively, Herb Robert continues to charm us with its dainty blooms. And let's not forget about our winged friends. The male Orange-tip butterfly (Anthocharis cardamines) flutters around Finland feeding on Wood Cranesbills' sweet nectar. So next time you encounter a member of the Geranium family – be it Herb Robert or Wood Cranesbill – take a moment to appreciate their beauty and significance within our natural world.
