It has remarkable healing properties and is said to be resistant to disease. It was even used by Pythagorus in the Sixth Century BC in a recipe he created as an antidote to poison.

Their botanical name comes from the Greek word 'geranos', meaning a crane, for the fruit of the plant resembles a crane's beak, hence the nickname Cranesbill. Geraniums are said to have been given their color by Mohammed who left his clothes to dry on a bed of mallow. The flowers blushed dark red with pride and never lost their color, and have been known as geraniums ever since.)
