Geranium fragrans, alias "Shirakawa", "Inlahong", "Sunset Red" and "Solanum nigrum", is a flowering plant, including about 230 perennial succulents, subshrubs or shrub plants. Geranium is native to southern Africa and widely cultivated all over the world.
Young geraniums are succulent herbs, while old ones are semi-lignified. Its leaves are opposite, round, kidney-shaped or fan-shaped; There are many colors, such as white, red, purple, pink and orange. It is an umbel, which can bloom in all seasons, and it is most prosperous in spring. Geranium is a good flower to decorate the window sill in the west, especially in continental Europe, such as Germany and Austria.
Geranium leaves are usually alternate, palmately lobed or pinnately lobed, and generally have long petioles. Some kinds of leaves have deep and shallow lines, and each flower has five petals. Flowers gather into umbrellas, which are called "false umbels". The shapes of flowers vary from star to funnel, and the colors are white, pink, red, orange, purple and even almost black.
