The merry month of May has been filled with three seasons: Spring, Summer and Autumn. It is quite exhilarating to say the least. Today especially. Weekend was a cooker, while today the rainstorm is so refreshing it feels like October……what’s not to love.
Geraniums
With this kind of activity the gardens are really singing. Sunshine, followed by such heavy rain promotes growth and rejuvenation. Geraniums carry these characteristics that sing balance and harmony to the soul and psyche.
Geraniums have over 300 varieties which vary in scent depending on where they are grown. Geranium’s positive impact and medical conditions make this a favorite for many who use aromatherapy. It’s three strongest characteristics are for Skin, Hair and Emotional balance. Ya gotta love that.

Geraniums
There are many suppliers of these essential oils all over the internet. Some are more strict about their formulas than others. If you have a favorite recommendation or supplier, recipe for relief or medicinal use, we would love to hear from you.
Geraniums are easy to grow annuals and are even great houseplants. In cold weather, geranium plants will withstand light frosts and patiently await transplanting into containers to move them indoors. Geraniums like lots of sun so be sure to put them near a sunny window. One growing benefit of the Geranium is they are seldom bothered by insects and diseases. This is my Favorite aspect. No Chemicals or organic pesticides. Happy Planting!
May May’s raindrops and rainbows shower your home.
