Geranium pylzowianum is in the same family as G. orientalitibeticum. It used to be known as 'Frances Perry'

If only I had room to plant them all in my garden. Some were given away and most went to a friends garden

The seed for this plant was labelled as G. refractum, unfortunately it's not  :'( :'( :'(
Am wondering if it might be G. albanum.

G. albanum is a creeper/scrambler. I'm not sure what your plant is

Ok, thanks Mark.
I thought the flower was more like albanum than anything else I could think of.
The leaves are totally different though. ???

Helen, would you have a close-up of the leaves? It might help us to try to identify it...
As it is, it reminds me of a nodosum...
