.Earlier this year I received an email from Anne, a member of the Pelargonium and Geranium Society who lives in Sweden. She was visiting relatives here in the UK and wondered if she would be able to visit any private pelargonium collections. I was happy to invite her to visit me and she and her cousin duly arrived one afternoon in spring. It was wonderful to chat 'pelargonium', cuttings were exchanged and a friendship made. Later in the year Anne invited me over for the weekend to visit her local pelargonium club's annual show. I had the most wonderful time. Anne made me very welcome, as did the members of Mälardalens Pelargonvänner.
Västerås is located in central Sweden, 100km west of Stockholm and
located on the shore of Lake Mälaren. The show itself was held in the
grounds of Vallby Open Air Museum. A village of old Swedish properties
re-located from all over Sweden
