"gerania" and "kipos" ??
When Vasilis and Irini Georgiou had built the apartments in the city, they had replicated in miniature everything they had enjoyed when they lived in the countryside. A vine that grew over a trellis to give them shade, five closely planted orange trees and a dozen pots from which his mother harvested more tomatoes than they could consume. Even the gerania had been propagated from cuttings of their plants in the village. There was also a tiny corner of the kipos fenced off with wire where two chickens scratched and fussed at the ground.
I would like to know what do "gerania" and "kipos" mean? Thanks.

It looks like greek for "cranesbills (geranium?)" and "garden".

Gerania is the genus name of a type of geranium, I think. Usually we say 'geraniums' for the plural. 'Gerania' is an unusual use of the word.
