It definately has Geranium wallichianum in the parentage: the lighter centre and petal shape are good indications of this.
Geranium wallichinaum is known to cross with a number of Geranium species such as rubifolium, kishtavariense, psilostemon, farreri and endressii, and the hybrid x oxonianum. You have a bargain anyway! See if it sets seed, collect some and sow it. You never know what you may get.

Thanks GD, and for your advice on PM, but I must admit I do get irritated when I dont know what variety things are when Ive paid for a certain type.
Still, I have got a few new ones, Derrick Cook, Blue Blood, Splish Splash and Sweet Heidi (uncanny, I bought all the same ones as Dottydaisy bought only a few days earlier - Spooky!).
Now Im plotting where to put them..getting more difficult..have already thought about digging up part of the 2 year old block paved drive..OH would have a fit if he knew..

I know what you mean: I have 34 pots of Geranium seedlings at the moment and where they will be going is anyones guess! Derrick cook is a really nice Geranium himalayense variety which is definately on my shopping list.
