Every year they come back. They are all over the city. There is one just outside my frontdoor. They are high. I have measured them. Some are 2,50 meters tall. I counted them in my area. Between the Overtoom and the Mercatorplein there were 38 of them. Pink and red. They are on our pavements from May till September. They are at their prettiest in August when they are in full bloom. At least, as long as it wasn’t too hot in the months before. Although they are supposed to be a species that can bear the heat quite well. The city puts them there to decorate our environment. It works for me. I like them. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find anything about them on the internet. Not even a picture. I watch them. I have done so for a few years now. They are really attractive to me. But every year I also wonder if the other inhabitants of the city are aware of them. I never see anybody else looking at them. And what are they called? When I told my friends that I was planning to photograph them, they didn’t have a clue what I was talking about. They had never seen a single geraniumhill in Amsterdam before.
Geranium hill, geranium blob, geranium thing…
