A few months ago on Alpine-L there was a long thread about snowdrops. Bulbs
are not my thing and I had no idea there were any different Galanthus than
the *schneeglocken* that used to poke up through the snow in my German
mother-in-law's backyard.

But this is the first public discussion I've ever listened to in which the
term 'Pelargonium' was automatically used. Here (in the USA) I speak
'pelargonium' as well, then have to explain "well they're geraniums, you
