"Long experience has taught me that people who do not like geraniums have something morally unsound about them. Sooner or later you will find them out; you will discover that they drink, or steal books, or speak sharply to cats. Never trust a man or a woman who is not passionately devoted to geraniums." ❤️
I'm still hunting for his books in vintage hardcovers. After reading more rave reviews on this one, I couldn't wait any longer for a copy.

Suelizbeth Speaking sharply to cats is the worst. Red geraniums=Memorial Day. #honorthosepassed #porchdecorations They have such a distinctive, earthy aroma. ❤️ 7y
Jess_Read_This @merelybookish That makes them all the more special. ❤️❤️❤️Cosmos always remind me of my grandpa and I plant some every year just for him. 7y

Jess_Read_This @readinginthedark 💝🍿I love that movie. I didn't make the daisy connection with this post, you are so right!!! 7y
Jess_Read_This @kspenmoll Me too!! I don't feel like my porch flowers are complete without geraniums! 7y
Jess_Read_This @Suelizbeth I love this. I didn't realize they are also symbolic to honor those who have passed. This makes me love them even more, if that is possible. I love their scent too. 7y
Suelizbeth @Jess_Read_This I don't know if they really are, except that I see them in the cemetery when my mom and I put our own red geraniums on our family graves on Memorial Day and I've always associated them with honoring those who have passed. 7y
Jess_Read_This @Suelizbeth They are such a beautiful tribute flower. 7y
