I have one of those, mine is labelled geranium phaeum.
My Geranium phaeum has dark markinngs on the leaves like this
and they are not as divided as the ones in the question
They're usual markings, how lovely!
Mine looked just like Forester 2 about a month or so ago, with the light blue flowers, but has grown up in to this. The flowers have turned inside out and changed colour to dark purple. So definitely dusky cranesbill rather than wood cranesbill.
That G.phaeum with the dark markings is 'Samobor'. The markings persist through its seedlings but weaken through the generations.
The more I look at the original pic the more it looks like Malva moschata or similar malva. You'll find out soon enough when it flowers.
Thanks all,I'll wait till it flowers.
