RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA DESIGNATING A HYBRID GERANIUM AS
THE CHULA VISTA CENTENNIAL GERANIUM
WHEREAS, in 1964, the Pazk and Recreation Commission in its original recommendation
to the City Council chose the Geranium as a superior choice as the official City Flower; and
WHEREAS, recent developments in cross breeding geraniums for maximum flowering
potential, vigor and pest resistance have produced an exceptional Geranium that does well in Chula
Vista soils and will produce showy red flowers throughout most of its long growing season; and
WHEREAS, Point Loma horticulturist Jim Zemcik hybridized a geranium, resulting in a
strain Pelargonium hortorum x peltatum; and
WHEREAS, this new hybrid will be named "Chula Vista Centennial" Geranium in
recognition of our City's commitment to beautifying our public spaces.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Chula
Vista does hereby officially designates the hybrid "Chula Vista Centennial" Geranium, and
extends its gratitude to the Chula Vista Garden Club for working with Mr. Zemcik on his gift to
the community.
