Hello could anyone help to id these plants growing in my back 'yard'? They start out a very dark burgundy red and fade to the pink you see in the picture. I am clueless. They reminded me a little of geraniums and a little of azaleas but having looked both up on Google l am none the wiser. Thank you.

Sorry Ann your picture is tiny & won't enlarge

[allotmentann]

Hmm. There should be two. It wouldn't accept them fullsize and l have had to resize them. I will try again.

Pelargoniums maybe?

[DD.]

Whilst Pelargoniums and Geraniums are closely related, I'm going to stick my pedantic head out and say it's a hardy Geranium (Cranesbill).

Hardy geranium though not many out yet. How about a geum? I have some whose petals fade particularly if in a sunny position

Our hardy Geraniums are out.

[Comfreypatch]

Depends on the variety, spring ones definitely but not some of the summer flowering varieties

I am going to google hardy geraniums. They do not die back here. The foliage has been green all winter. (Winter was two light frosts!). I have tried to get a foliage photo on but can't make the file small enough.

I think that is a Regal Pelegonium, which is a houseplant or bedding plant over here, but could well grow outside year round where you are Ann

Thank you Newshoot l believe that you are right. I have just googled it and the foliage looks right. I can look up how to care for it now. Thanks again.
