Geranium ID please
Hello,
Last year I took some seeds from a friend's garden and germinated them this spring.
My friend thought they were a geranium and I think she's right.
However they don't look like hardy geraniums but neither do they look like your annual pelargoniums as the leaves aren't fleshy at all.
Does anyone have an idea what type they are please ?
Thanks in advance.

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Not a greanium though
In the sticks near Peterborough
There's a lot of the annual mallows being included in wild flower mixes so they're turning up all over the place ... as you say probably one of those ... do they hybridise?

It's definitely a Mallow of some form isn't it.
My friend may well have shaken some wildflower seed around so maybe that's it.
Anyway I rather like it so far as it was easy to germinate and is flowering in its first year. I'll see how it develops over the year. It was free so there's nothing to lose 😋
Thanks.
