    Strong musty smell. Not bad but not nice either.

    @Cloggie It is Geranium macrorrhizum Bevan's variety. Shear back now, water if dry.
    It will regrow and be neat until Autumn and beyond. Lots of cutting material, non flowering stems will root easily. Great in a dry spot, in shade.

    I'm wondering if the last one could be Johnson's Blue?

    Am I right in thinking that Johnson's Blue has a reddish stem where it comes out of the ground?

    Got to be honest, l've no idea @GardenerSuze , it's been years since l've grown it. Trouble is there are so many geraniums and they all look very similar.

    @AnniD If it is a thug in some gardens I think you are right. Remember digging it up by the bucket full in a garden years ago

    Thanks @GardenerSuze.  I normally just leave it but now I'm at home more I'll do that.

    Thanks for the IDs.  Does no-one recognise the first one?  It has quite silvery leaves and scrambles quite messily.  I don't remember buying it so it's either a wild one or a leftover from the previous gardener.

    It could be the ubiquitous "Rozanne" or maybe "Azure Rush" which looks similar.
