Red geum

A happy garden perennial that blooms so brightly, geum (GEE-um) is a nice tall flower (2-3 feet, or a meter) with sprays of brilliant red that dance above a rosette of very toothed leaves. No fragrance, but very long blooming, especially when deadheaded. Hope you have this crowd-pleaser in your garden. An easy one to grow!

   Love the capture of the bee being a bee in a field of rubies. Nice work.

   Beautiful photo! Vibrant reds and a bee in flight. It doesn’t get much better than this.

   I don’t know the Geum – I will look for that plant, but where, I wonder!
   Lots of ambiance here!
