English

Noun

pelargonia

1. plural of pelargonium
   • 1830, The History of Africa, London: Henry Colburn and Richard Bentley, page 201:

     Many of the Cape plants are common in our greenhouses, where they are remarkable for their elegant shapes and brilliant colours. The whole tribe of the pelargonia, or geraniums, may be adduced as examples of this; and the genus erica, or heath, is, with very few exceptions, peculiar to the Cape.

   • 1988, Milwaukee Magazine, volume 13:

     This time of year, Dan’s geraniums are visible to all passersby. The pelargonia are in huge pots, drying out, but still blooming.

   • 2005 [1994], Madeline G. Levine, transl., The Woman from Hamburg and Other True Stories, translation of original by Krall, Hanna, published 2006, →ISBN:

     The wooden, one-story bungalows were sinking into the ground. We wondered if anyone lived in them. Probably yes, because there were pots of pelargonia in the windows, wrapped in crimped white tissue paper.
