Despite varying weather, a lot is happening in the garden this week, too.
Maybe you can help me in identifying this dark purple geranium?

I think it is Geranium magnificum - Tarhakurjenpolvi, but it might also be
Geranium himalayense - Idänkurjenpolvi. But which, I don’t know for sure.

I have several of these and this one in a sunny spot is the first to bloom.
I went sightseeing near home. Visited once again the artist community around Lake Tuusula.
Our much respected national writer Aleksis Kivi died in this tiny cottage 1872.
His Seven Brothers is the first significant novel written in Finnish.
Other plant joys of the week 24:
but here a sunny one in contrasting colours.

Dear Riitta,
VastaaPoistaI've never seen blue geraniums before. But the colour is simply beautiful.
Your fine collage shows an almost breathtaking flower splendour.
I wish you a fine Friday,

Your blue geranium is pretty. We only have the pink variety in our garden although I have seen the blue in neighbourhood gardens here. Your flower display is wonderful - so natural-looking. Lake Tuusula is picturesque. Thank you for the linkup which I was happy to join this week. All the best for the weekend to you and yours.
VastaaPoista...my gerainiums are growing well and the buds are starting to form. Such lovely splashes of color! Thanks for hosting.
