The Geranium Rozanne, is a perennial flower with such a delicate shade of blue.
Our garden has been created around such colours as this flower as a basis for our sensory approach of gardening to support our son.
Plagued with autism based anxieties and epilepsy generated pain, the blue, if I capture his limited imagination properly, can help calm his fears, and when we sit outside in the light, falling rain, I can take his mind off the pain he feels and accept the lightly falling rain on his face by encouraging him to look up into the sky with me as it falls, just as it covers this flower, so it covers our faces too.
The garden has been, and continues to be instrumental is supporting him through his complex health conditions. the blue of the geranium is a welcome sight this month as it appears in the borders and encourages our son to step over the threshold to look closer.
That’s a beautiful flower – I think I see a tiny bug too!
