  They are Pelargoniums if you want to look them up but there are so many different  all looking similar it’s difficult to tell.

  Is it possible to identify the species as I need to put them in a catalogue and don’t wish to give false information, I know its not easy.

  Impossible...unless you are a specialist grower of Pelargoniums.
  Not only do you need to know what the  flowers are like but the leaves as well...just check the link and you will see what I mean.

  If you don't want to give false information, put "Pelargonium (Pink)" and "Pelargonium (Red)". You could narrow it down to the type e.g. zonal, scented leaf, ivy leaved Pelargonium etc. https://www.gardenersworld.com/plants/the-different-types-of-pelargonium/
