The flower (and plant) in your photo is a geranium, specifically a zonal geranium (botanical name Pelargonium × hortorum or similar hybrid, often just called Pelargonium or zonal Pelargonium in common usage). Here’s why it matches: • The leaves are large, rounded (roughly kidney-shaped or orbicular), with scalloped/wavy edges — very characteristic of zonal geraniums. • The bright red flowers are in dense clusters (umbels) on stems rising above the foliage. • It’s a classic potted/container plant, often grown on patios, balconies, or indoors/outdoors in places like Los Angeles. People commonly call them “geraniums,” but true Geraniums (the hardy perennial kind) usually have more deeply lobed or divided leaves and different flower styles. What you have is the tender, garden-shop variety from the Pelargonium genus. These are super popular for their long bloom season, vibrant colors, and easy care in sunny spots. Yours looks healthy and well-established in that pot! If it’s not quite matching what you expected or you have more details (like leaf texture up close or if the leaves have a “zone” ring), feel free to share — but based on the photo, this is a classic red zonal geranium/Pelargonium. 🌺
