Pelargonium barklyi

Hi,
In the process of splitting up the Pelargonium wiki page since it was
getting really long, I added some pictures of Pelargonium barklyi. It's
just now blooming for me. We saw it in Namaqualand in September. I
recognized the leaves since they are so distinctive, but the flowers were
so far away from the leaves twining through a shrub that there was no way a
picture could capture the whole plant. I haven't tried planting any in my
garden assuming it might be too wet in winter where I live, but it's a nice
pot plant I think. I really like the leaves.

By the way our wiki Pelargonium page (before it was split up) was one of
the ten most popular genera pages, no doubt because of all the work David
Victor did adding so many pictures of flowers and leaves and such great
text of some many different geophytic species.
