Proud parents often share photos of their adorable offspring achieving significant milestones.

Earlier today Leftwing Idiot sent me a photo of his beautiful baby geranium that’s just had its first flowers.

Baby G’s the first to grow from seed from Leftwing Idiot’s original plant, and my tics marked the occasion in their usual style:

“Baby geranium, do you want some custard?”
“Baby geranium growing up faster than a soap on a slide.”
“Baby geranium university fund.”

This is a proud moment for the whole geranium dynasty. Even though they’re not really geraniums!
