Any way to get geraniums to bloom all at once?

They're not really geraniums, they're pelargoniums.

They bloom so gradually that there are still buds at the edges but the middle is all dead and gross looking. I really hate to pull them off while buds are still there, but it looks so crappy.

Any way to get all the little budlets to bloom at once?

I don't think so. That is against Darwin's principle. To survive, the plant tries to have as much time as possible to get the flowers pollinated. And it does not survive when it blooms on one rainy day without any bee or other insect.

In bloom


Bradford pear trees in spring bloom in the parking lot of the HPC Building at Mississippi State University. This is a five second exposure using only the security lights for a light source. I kind of like the green aura from the lights with the white flowers and black sky.
