      Geraniaceae

      The Geraniaceae family, commonly known as the geranium family, has an interesting story unraveling its name. The name Geraniaceae comes from the Greek word geranos, which means crane. This is because the fruit of some species of this family resembles the beak of a crane. Additionally, there is a myth that these plants were used by cranes to heal their wounds, which adds to its intriguing history. Today, the family includes commonly known flowering plants such as geraniums and pelargoniums and is enjoyed by gardeners around the world.
