Hello friends #hivers of #stockimages,
The geranium in general is a very beautiful and delicate plant and also extremely noble that grows without major soil requirements, develops quickly and withstands various types of temperatures.
And, as if all this were not enough, it has a particularity that very few plants in the garden have: it reproduces without any problem from any stem of the plant.
A plant broken by wind or rain is the best way to reproduce new plants. It is enough to make a clean cut, oblique, with a power scissors, preferably at the base of the stem to prevent germs and parasites from entering the stem.
Once this is done, it is enough to transplant it to the ground and in a few days we will see the leaves of the new plant growing.
But what not everyone knows is that the geranium has essential oils with many properties for the beauty and aesthetics of the body.
Even if we do not know it, Geranium essential oil is often one of the main components of cosmetics that we use daily.
Some examples? Creams, soaps and perfumes in general.
As a preventive measure it should be noted that the use of geranium oil should always be external, because if we ingest it those same substances could become toxic, even some specialists and dermatologists advise that, when applied externally, mix it with olive or almond oil to avoid irritation or allergies.
The geraniums in my garden are bright red or white and the two colors are set against each other in a panorama of equal beauty.
The purity, innocence and perfection of the white geraniums alternate with the passion, energy and love of the red geraniums.
If, to some extent, I were to assimilate them to the themes proposed by the community as a contest for this week I would say that the white geraniums represent Meditation while the red geraniums are more akin to the sense of Celebrations.
But obviously it all depends on the point of view from which you look at it.

Thank you and have a nice weekend!
