Etymology
Pelargonium comes from the Greek root pelargōn, which means 'stork', because the plant's long, pointed seed pods look like a stork's beak, so imagine a small flower with a bird's bill. That's why Pelargonium is the name for a group of geranium-like garden plants known for their bright, often scented flowers.
