Geranium is a flowering plant native to South Africa. It is likely that the Phoenician sailors involved in African trade came to Greece in ancient times. From here its name is Pelargos (Stork, Stork) Pelargonium. Its botanical name still preserves the ancient Greek origin.

Pelargonium species have a characteristic scent, asymmetrical flower shrubs, which are very widespread, easy to propagate and cuttable ornamental plants. Pelargonium zonale - common geranium - is a fleshy, erect-stemmed, lacy-edged, lanceolate, very diverse ornamental plant.

Due to its excellent adaptability it is a widely used ornamental plant from South Africa-Northern Europe.

The first Hungarian written memories of geraniums can be found in János Lippay's Posoni Garden. Linné describes it in Species Plantarum, written in 1752. The first geranium hybrids are mentioned by Dillenius, the cross between P. inguinans and P. zonale. Andrews mentions 200 varieties in 1800 and R. Sweet in 500 in 1830. However, there were probably many of the same varieties. Knuth and Engler therefore mention only 300 varieties in their work Pflanzenreich in 1912. According to experts, there are still around this number of distinct, distinctively different types of geranium in the world.

Through the deliberate breeding work of the 1850s in England it was possible to produce a variety of geranium other than red. The French flower breeder V. Lemoine produced the first full-flowered varieties in 1864 through many years of crossing. Successful breeding work has been carried out in Germany, the Netherlands, the USA and other countries.

The production of ornamental plants in Hungary has developed significantly in recent decades. The demand for potted ornamental plants has increased. Even today, Geranium is our most sought after ornamental plant among potted flowers. It can be found in squares, gardens, windows, balconies. Meeting growing demands requires the introduction of new cultivation methods and the breeding and introduction of new varieties.

According to the literature, 12 red, 10 pink, 3 white, 3 purple, 3 multicolored flowers of P. hortorum species, 3 red, 3 pink and 3 purple varieties of P. peltatum are known and cultivated in Hungary. Some of them reproduce only hand-to-hand - without breeding and selection. Therefore, the spread of new varieties produced by purposeful breeding work in Hungary increases the variety of varieties and serves to better meet the needs.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is directed to the cultivation of a dark-pink, mid-white, semi-solid flowering variety of flower petals with rigidly erect foliage at the edges with a longitudinal vein.

The geranium variety PENVE differs from the similar NOVAVE variety in that while the variety of the present invention has a medium width (without inflorescence) and a broad leaf width, the NOVAVE variety has a wide to very wide width.

The PENVE pelargonium pelargonium zonale hybrid, which is the subject of the invention, is a new variant of geranium with its special dark-pink inflorescence, dark green, upright foliage leaves, and many inflorescences at the base. We do not have this type of breed yet, so it expands our selection.

The propagation and propagation of the new breed can be achieved by importing cuttings and young plants.

The variety does not resemble other known varieties, its flower color and appearance are distinctive and clearly distinguishable.

The habitus of the geranium variety PENVE is shown in Figure 1.

Morphological and physiological characteristics of the new geranium species of the present invention are as follows:

Plant: - low, medium;

- inflorescence diameter: large.

Leaf: - its upper side is reddish brown;

- slight discoloration of leaf disc color.

Inflorescence: - medium-long peduncle;

- many open flowers;

- large diameter.

Flower: - Inflorescence in middle third dark-pink, RHS 71D

- medium in size;

- type passed.

Flowering time: - medium

- short service life.

Its drought resistance is very good.
