Malcolm,

For the Lists members in the US, France, The Netherlands, Sweden, Australia,
China and Korea, the Great Orme is an outcrop of limestone rock with some
fairly unique flora, jutting out into the Irish Sea on the North Coast of
Wales in the UK.

Haven't heard of an indigenous Geranium on the Orme - maybe a subspecies or
variety. I have asked a friend (not on the Robin) if he knows anything or
has a Denbighshire (the area the Great Orme is in) Flora, which I don't.
Will get back to you with any definite information.
Hope you had a good time on the Welsh Riviera - if it was a last few days
ago you were lucky with the weather. It is drizzling and wet today south of
Caernarfon.
