Pelargonium is not a demanding flower. Easy to plant, easy to take care and on top of this looking good with its red and pinkish small flowers. Many times I came across this flower in literature, where it was a symbol of domestic, orderly, almost boring kind of life. Few weeks ago I’ve heard a story which changed my way of thinking about this domestic flower.
The story took place during Warsaw uprising in 1944. One day insurgents came out from the street drain (In order to move across the town,which was under fire, people had to used underground channels) in a quarter which was not yet covered by the uprising. All covered with mud, water and let’s be honest poo, the insurgents were coming from the drain out straight into a quite, sunny street. What they saw, was a man in the window watering his pots with pelargonium flowers.
If you have a dream, possibilities, take care of them, even if they seam to be simple or unimportant. Water them with care and love so one day they will blossom. Take care of your pelargonium, because not everyone has a chance to have one.
