Cultivars hybridised by Mrs. H. Searle were brought to the attention of our Research Committee by Mrs. H. Brown, a member of the Geelong Pelargonium Lovers Club. She was kind enough to advise us of the many regal pelargoniums which Mrs. Searle had hybridised.
We made contact with Mrs. Searle and she is very happy to have her cultivar names listed in our book as she does not think they have been listed anywhere before. Since her first seedling in 1968, she has hybridised some 40 regals.
