Pelargonium radens flowers

    Pelargonium radens flowers

    The deeply incised leaf lobes of Pelargonium radens often show the conspicuously sunken veins along the centre of each narrow lobe.

    The five petals are any of a series of shades of pale pink. The flowers are about 2 cm in diameter.

    The upper pair of petals, bigger and obovate to club-shaped, have pink-purple blotches and lines in two colours in their lower halves.

    The three smaller, round-tipped petals completing the laterally symmetrical corolla below the flower centre are unmarked and of similar colour as the upper ones (Vlok and Schutte-Vlok, 2015; iNaturalist).
