Hi there,

Amongst other things, I am the International Registrar for Geranium, which
means I am responsible for the correct naming and identification of
cultivars.  I saw your message and the reference to G. sanguineum
'Alpenglow', a cultivar that I am trying to track down at present.  As far
as I know, this plant originated in the US and has not been brought into
cultivation in Europe.

There are a number of things that I am trying to find out.  Firstly, the
correct name:  I have heard 'Alpenglow', 'Alpen(space)Glow' and 'Alpine
Glow'.  I would like to find out who, when and where it originated and
whether and, if so, when the name and a description have been published. 

If anyone on the list can help with any or all of this information, I would
be most obliged. 
Best Regards,
David Victor
