Today I learned...


There are plants called geraniums commonly used in landscaping. However, there is a genus of plants called Geranium, which are in the same family but are not the same plant. While this might be confusing, there is a sort of logical reason why the confusion exists. Both genuses were classified as Geranium at some point, until they were placed in different genuses sometime during the 1700s.
