Geranium

Geranium comprises a diverse family commonly known for their lobed, sometimes finely divided leaves and their distinctive, five-petaled flowers which often exhibit vibrant hues. These plants are adept at thriving in temperate regions, utilizing their varied leaf morphologies to adapt to both sun-drenched and shaded environments. The unique seed dispersal mechanism, where the beak-like mericarp curls to launch seeds away, helps them colonize across varied landscapes.
