so geranium experts.... [are you there Spritzhenry?]
is this Johnson's blue?
the leaves are slightly hairy so the leaf has a soft felty feel.
I had been told it was and then someone asked what it was and that is when the querry occured.

I have this too and just went to compare my picture with your....can't believe I didn't take one and the rain here yesterday really finished it off!
Anyway, the flowers didn't look like your SBG. I will compare the foliage later today.

I agree with Inverglen - G. x magnificum.

I have just posted a picture of mine SBG, and foliage. I really thought those rain showers we had yesterday would have finished the blooms off....my camera doesn't do purple very well, some of them show up very blue.

Mine have just about finished flowering now.

Its not 'Johnsons blue' which is a hybrid with Pratense and Himalyense. It looks like the hybrid 'magnificum' but if it produces any seed, it will be something else as 'magnificum' is a sterile hybrid: i.e doesn't produce any seed at all. If there is seed, it could well be Geranium platypetalum or Geranium Ibericum (both the parents of Geranium 'magnificum'). Hope this helps.
