(although my garden gets so little tap water it wouldn't matter, maybe it says something about our bath water)
Strolling around the garden I spotted this geranium with bright red leaves - I'm sure it has some dire portent but who cares, I like red

Some geraniums produce the most spectacularly beautiful coloured leaves, especially during autumn and winter.
I'm getting quite a collection of those with coloured or marked leaves throughout the year. Flowers are less significant but with beautiful leaves all year round, it's a small price to pay.
The leaves on your plant are quite stunning.
Hi Alice,
this geranium doesn't usually have distinct markings, I've a couple that have dark circles but none have thrown out these colours before.
I've noticed coloured markings on geraniums before but never red like that . Very interesting
I've read that you can mix Epsom salts in with the water and it will correct this "problem." Perhaps it's a lack of magnesium in the water?
anonymous: thanks, I think I read somewhere about using epsom salts with yellowing on gardenia leaves, so I imagine it's a similar soil deficiency problem, but it's not a big enough problem to really worry me - I'll just give them an extra dose of chicken poo in spring!
