Mahalo Moment: Patio Flowers

Two of our patio plants sprouted small blossoms recently, including the Mosquito Plant (top photo), which neither of us remembered as having flowers in the past! It's a member of the geranium family and gives off a citronella scent, which in theory helps to ward off the mosquitoes.


I can't remember the name of the other plant (bottom photo), but it was looking VERY scraggly and unhealthy, so seeing the blooms emerge was definitely a lovely surprise!
