Pelargonium odoratissimum (Apple geranium)

Native mainly to Africa, with species also occurring in parts of Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and Atlantic islands, these plants include perennials and shrubs. Flowers grow in clusters, and cultivated forms offer a wide range of colors. Some kinds have scented leaves; others are grown for patterned foliage or trailing stems. Pelargonium capitatum, one member of the genus, is naturalized in southern Australia and is an environmental weed in Western Australia. Photographed in Bogotá, Colombia.
