it is a phaeum tetrarch, I have started collecting them as I think they are wonderful!

Oh! I have the Samobor..didnt know there was one this pale! Should have recognised the leaf shape.

yes I have samobor and i have the alba which it wonderful and when the sun is shining you can see the markings through the back of the flower, it is ethereal !. I have also bought Angelina which is another pale one, can't wait to see it.

Thank you lemondog! I've just cut down my phaeums for the next 'round'. Hopefully get some more flowers later on!

Ive now got another one called "Pinwheel" and very nice it is too..deeper lavender with little spots on each petal..looks just like a wheel!

sounds wonderful i will look out for it. I have six now, no more until next year, I am trying to not buy any plants this season and just grow from seed, which I love doing,I have not yet tried geraniums as I have heard they can be tricky, but then some of them self seed around the garden, so I will have to investigate further, happy gardening.
