yes agree.
It is a pelargonium..... this one is called ''melosilver''
They are pretty tough and are happy in dry situations. Some of them have very sweet scented leaves, and there is a lemon scented one that repels flies.
The geraniums are a slightly different bunch of plants that include ones like ''johnson's blue''
these are also really good in hot dry situations.

it depends on which geranium you select, some are lemony and some other smells to the leaves. not a real fan of them myself, but do recall that part.
The plant Vette Kid has shown is a Pelargonium. They used to be classified as Geraniums but it is now known they are very different plants.
If the leaves smell like gone off tobacco then its probably a Pelargonium...

To be precise, this is Pelargonium 'Mrs. Pollock'. A hybrid bred by Mrs. M. Grieve in 1858 (P. 'Emperor of the French' x P. 'Gold Pheasant'). It should be distinguished from another, similar cultivar: Pelargonium 'Mr. Henry Cox', bred by H. Cannell & Sons in 1879, which has similar leaf coloration, but less leaf lobing. The flower color also varies, being orange-red on P. 'Mrs. Pollock' and light Pink on P. 'Mr. Henry Cox'.
