Geraniums, scientifically known as Pelargonium, are versatile flowering plants that have found their way to Guatemala, contributing to the country's rich botanical diversity. Guatemala's climate, characterized by a combination of tropical and subtropical conditions, provides an ideal environment for the cultivation of geraniums. These plants, with their vibrant and varied blooms, thrive in the fertile soils of Guatemala. Geraniums are appreciated not only for their ornamental value but also for their potential medicinal properties. In some cultures, geraniums are believed to have therapeutic benefits, such as anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. As part of the flora in Guatemala, geraniums add a splash of color to gardens, contributing to the country's natural beauty and biodiversity.
