Hi everyone!

I got this Geranium from a garden friend last year and we couldn't classify it. Could it be a Geranium platypetalum? Plant Forum

I think it could, Karina..the leaves do have 7 divisions, and the look of the flower does look familiar.
My only doubt is bout the veining, which seems darker (blacker?) on mine...
But G. platypelalum is somehow variable...

Thanks for answering Zephirine! If the leaves look the same I think this one is G. platypetalum. I've seen several picutres on the web and the veining variates. There's one called G. playtpetalum 'Georgia blue' with much darker veins!

Thank you again!
