Sharing pictures of Geranium mascatense, commonly known as Black Eyed Geranium from Muscat, Oman.

These were seen by me after a few showers, in the first week of March,2010.

Not seen through out the year and in the very hot months.

This was seen growing on the rocks, very close to a beach.

Identified from birdsoman.com from their Flower gallery.

Excellent pictures
