Pelargonium x hortorum Bailey Pink Color Flowers. The specific epithet hortorum is a genitive form of the Latin hortus `garden` and therefore corresponds to `horticultural`. The name was created by the American botanist Liberty Hyde Bailey who in 1914, writes `The large number of forms of the common geranium, derives from the variation and probably the crossing of P. zonale and P. inquinans and possibly others during more than a century of careful selections`
