Help ID geranium?

Post by doublemom2 »

This was given to me labeled as Geranium psilostemon (sp?), but it's definitely not. Does anyone know what this one might be? It's gorgeous, a nice purplish color.

Thanks,
Andi

My first thought was it might be a type of sylvaticum. Check out this link for a picture. The leaf shape and flower remind me of this.

Yup... I do believe that's it! I Googled it and found a few photos that look identical to mine, so that's what I'm going with. It's such a nice color of purple... :)

Thanks Doris!
