Hi Gerard,

Lovely geranium! We have 9 species of G., but not this one.

Lovely color and shade play in you image.

TFS,

Ishi

Hy Gerard
I am sorry but I have to correct you: This plant belongs to Malvaceae family, not Geraniaceae.And I will give you an very common clue for plants from the mallow family: The stamens are five to numerous, connate at least at their bases, but often forming a tube around the pistils.Look carefully at Hybiscus flower, if you have home.
Otherwise, the picture is very sharp, with good details.
Regards, Oana

Bonjour,
Jolie présentation bien détaillée.
Bonne journée.
