<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Elisa, you may have taken this into account, but there is a lot of confusion about geraniums and pelargoniums.

Does anyone have a picture of geraniums sitting in the deep windows in the Monk's House living room that I could use to illustrate my essay on geraniums? I would credit you for the photograph. They have been there every time I have visited; Cecil and Jean
have them growing in their windows as well. I can't believe that neither I nor my students captured them.</div>

FYI, Woolf mentions geraniums 31 times in her prose; about a third of these are red geraniums. The official pictures of MH in the present show light pink flowers, but I suspect Leonard preferred red.</div>

I have completed essays on the first 40 of the 99 or so flowers Woolf refers to in her fiction, essays, letters, and diaries. I've decided to make them available on-line. See my Virginia Woolf Herbarium:
