Caroline Vaughan Lab Supervisor, Syngenta


Caroline Vaughan was fi rst exposed to Calliope™ geraniums in fall 2008. Ever since, she’s been hooked on the fl ower’s rich red color and rounded habit. But Vaughan, an avid gardener, isn’t the only one to notice the bold fl ower: Friends and neighbors at home often ask about the Calliope plants in her garden. “It does everything I’ve ever wanted a geranium to do!” she says.


Don Snow Technical Specialist Manager, Syngenta Flowers


A 3,500-mile road trip to Guatemala was Don Snow’s way of giving back to the people who produce seeds and cuttings for Syngenta Flowers.
