That is Moscow of Russia. Sorry for any confusion.

Great pics, I didn't know that there is such a judging-and-breeding- circus with pelargoniums.

Did you notice cultivars with Russian names? The pics showed mainly English cultivar names, interesting.

And just out of curiosity, do you just travel or does your work take you to so many different corners orf the world?

Thanks, bye, Lin

Thank you for sharing. I love Pelargonium

Very interesting, JJ.

Interesting comment of Lin, re names in English.

Those are the cultivar names.

Noted that Pelargonium 'Little Fi-fine', at least, is probably a Dutch cultivar.

Seems that Dutch horticulturists often use English names for their cultivars, likely with export in mind.

Translations are not supposed to be replace cultivar names, though I believe that the alphabet of the person who named the cultivar is fortunately not required (e.g. Chrysantheum x morifolium 'Mei Kyo').

Beautiful !!

There was a time not all that long ago there had been several mail order suppliers offering vast numbers of fancy pelargoniums in Canada, sadly these have now closed :(

Interesting point, twrosz.

Guess it's all to do with money.

Nice photos of the Show.
As for plant names, I had thought there are (international)rules for botanical nomenclature. The Latin binomial system for species & cv. names, for those in the horticultural trade, botanical gardens, etc..
In this way, we all know exactly which plant we are properly conversing about, (of course, taking into consideration, when labeled correctly.)
b.t.w. Moscow has a rather long history of plant collecting.

Select Seeds Antique Flowers is one source I've used, for mail ordering the 'rosebud' type...
