I bought this #pelargonium cheaply from a nursery nearly ten years ago. It is a short, slow-growing plant that needs shelter from the harsh sun in summer. I have managed to grow several more from cuttings, one of which you can see to the left of the main plant.

Closeup of an open flower in full, late afternoon sunlight. There's one large petals at the top, coloured cherry red graduating to black, and 3 white, thinner petals - one on each side and one at the bottom. From the centre, a thin stamen pokes out and splits into 5 curls. Some of the hairs seen in the previous shot are visible behind the lower petals
