While shopping in one of our small variety stores in Guildwood
I found this very unusual geranium with variegated foliage.
Foliage can be compared with a Canadian Mapleleaf and the flowers are bright red.
I found the plant irresistible!! How could I resist?
Now enjoy Geranium Vancouver Centennial every day in the garden.
Research on the Internet revealed that it was named for the
100th anniversary of the City of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada and won the
 Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
