About John Cash Expertise I can identify most cultivated ornamental plants both tropical plants and landscaping varieties depending on how much information I am given. I can also identify most native wild plants of the US at least to the Family and Genus. For the best chance of identification, I need pictures of leaves, stem, flowers, and fruit or seed. Send your pictures to john@arklatexwatergardens.com. I will answer your questions on AllExperts. Please make sure you size your pictures before you send them. Large pictures are VERY SLOW to download.
Experience I have been in the nursery/garden center business since 1976. I am an exotic plant collector and ornamental plant grower. I have studied plant identification all over the South East United States and in tropical Pacific coast Mexico.
Education/Credentials I have a B.S. Degree in Horticulture, a B.S. Degree in Botany with an emphasis on Taxonomy (plant identification) and a Master's degree in Floriculture (ornamental horticulture).
Just one question first. What make it a "him"? Geraniums are actually bisexual, lol. I can't tell the exact variety from a picture, but the plant is a common Zonal Geranium, genus Pelargonium.
Answer Really pretty color, but it is still impossible to know what the variety is unless you know which company and breeder it came from. There are now literally thousands of varieties out there now. Every breeder produces a complete line of colors. It is very easy to find a dozen different varieties that have differences that are so slight that it is impossible to tell them apart. There may be only a slight color difference in the leaf. A slight growth rate difference. A slight light requirement difference. Qualities that are impossible to tell just by looking at it.
