Pelargonsjuka style is taking homes and gardens by storm, but if you really have the 'pelargonium disease' you can take it many steps further, into the realm of cards, gifts, tableware, you name it. Check out the pinks in particular for Barbiecore brilliance!

Pelargoniums and geraniums are currently in bloom and their full glory will last for a few more months, yet, as these flowering beauties continue to produce prolific blossom all summer long. When the flowers begin to fall you can set them aside and dry them for use in personalised projects and fun family activities. 
You can create beautiful, unique greeting cards with dried, pressed geranium flowers. The easiest way is to use a thick book for pressing. To stop the pages of the book becoming discoloured or wavy, place blotting or printer paper between the pages and the flowers. Alternatively, you can use a flower press, which would also make a thoughtful and inspiring gift for craft-loving family or friends.

With their gorgeous blooms, geraniums also make a beautiful table decoration. Napkins embroidered with geranium flowers perfectly complement this celebratory summer table.
