Can anyone ID my Geraniums?

Bought from various garden visits and village fetes with no labels....


This last one is kinda floppy and a bit disappointing

    @Cloggie Second is G Macrorrhizum what colour was the flower for full name?
    Third is either Endressii or Wargrave's Pink

    That 2nd one looks like  the biokovo one. If it is, you might find it quite invasive.
    Is the little flower in the pic above from that one? Bit too pink if it is then. 
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    @Fairygirl, yes the flower is from the second one.  It has spread into a lovely clump this year, I planted two of them about three years ago and they looked glorious in early Spring. 

    Curiously, when I'm weeding in the area where most of my Geraniums are, I get a whiff of dirty dishcloths or a cabbagey sort of smell.  Not worked out what it is yet but I was suspecting this guy at one time!

    I have a rubbish sense of smell, so I can't help you there!

    Geranium macrorhizum is smelly. Wonderful groundcover for almost anywhere. Bit of a thug though.

    Ah so it is that one! 😁. What does it smell like to you @Kate 7?  OH and I differ on wisteria and buddleia, I think they smell of sherbet and honey respectively, he thinks cats for both!
