Hello!
Nice pictures. There are some geraniums I've never seen before, but I'll have to wait some years to get them in Austria (or Germany).

Katrin most new ones originate in Europe and eventually come to the UK

Here's some of my Geraniums :

First a little collection of G. cinereum :
1) Ballerina
2) Lawrence Flatman
3) Purple pillow
4) Carol

Then
5) Ger. farreri (not a very good pic - the flower has clearly suffered from the rain)
6) Ger. Max Frei - I've cut it back right now after flowering and will have another flush of flowers in late August
7) Ger. subcaulescens splendens - an all time favourite

I would have thought more members would be growing hardy Geraniums in their gardens. They arent the menacing plants that most people would have you believe. If you have any questions about them please ask

All the G. clarkei are great - 'Kashmir White', 'Kashmir Pink', 'Kashmir Purple', 'Kashmir Green' and especially 'Mount Stewart'. I'll include the unrelated 'Kashmir Blue'. 'Kashmir Green'  has white flowers with green veins.

'Crystal Lake' is a beauty, I'll have to keep an eye out for it.

Below are:

G. shikokianum
G. ruprechtii
G. swatense
G. delavayi
G. delavayi - variation in seedlings

...and an unknown, probably either pogonanthum or yunnanense?

what's the source for your plants?

the last one isnt pogonanthum or yunnanense. Both are very distinctive
