    It's a seedling of Anne Thompson by the same breeder - "A new introduction from Alan Bremner in the Orkney Islands and comes from viable seed of Geranium ‘Anne Thomson’.  It produces large magenta, saucer-shaped flowers with black centres and the plant is very floriferous".

    I like geranium machrorhizum which comes in palest, almost white pink plus medium and much deeper magenta pinks.  Good ground cover with scented leaves which are evergreen except in very hard winters and also turn red for winter.

    I used to have Wargrave Pink. It was quite invasive here, fairly tall (about 2 to 3 feet), and not a particularly nice colour to me (a bit salmony, which I didn't like with my blues, mauves and other pinks) so out it  went.

    My favourite pink one is Geranium x ‘Orkney Cherry’.

    I like Geranium Glenluce, as a pink flowered variety, but that might just be because of the name. :D
