CUT FLOWERS: PELARGONIUMS

Curiosity is making me wonder just how well pelargoniums do as cut flowers.  I have a feeling that they will be very short lived, dropping their flowers quickly.  I was just dead heading a small border of pelargoniums that I have and decided to experiment.  I've never brought them indoors before and that surprises me as they grow on lovely long, strong stems.  I stuck them in a tiny vase with a couple of 'Fascination' dahlias.  The dahlias don't last so very long either.  They, dahlias and pelargoniums, have no fragrance as such but they look bright and pretty.
