I would be very pleased to have a name for this one



The plant is strong growing.. 40 to 45 cm tall and the flowers are about 3,5 cm across.

Magnar it could be some form of G. sanguineum, but without seeing the whole
plant it's very difficult to see.

I've seen many G. sanguineun of 50 cm. But I think Mark is right.
You only have to know if it has tubers.
There are several forms of G. tuberosum/

Lovely flowers and foliage there Magnar.  Whatever it is it is worth growing, that is for sure.

Looks like it might be G. yunnanense, I'd be very interested in trading for a couple of seeds.

Thanks.

The more I look at Ola's Geranium the less I want to believe it is one

What else could it be, other than possibly a hybrid? It's not G. refractum. Here's another one I've wondered about many times.

The shape says it belongs to the Refractum Group that contains, delavayi, refractum, pogonanthum and yunnanense but none look like that
