I'll see if I've got one Papi Jo, otherwise I'll see if it's flowering tomorrow. I've seen flowers on one of them fairly recently. I can do leaves for comparison if nothing else.
If I have a photo it's not labeled and therefore unfindable. I really must do something about all those plant photos with no names They're no good for anything.
I found Erodium pelagonifolium if you'd like one of those
It had a pink geranium flower, it's had more flowers in previous years. I shall keep it for the foliage even if there are few flowers, it's doing well on a very poor area of soil.
I'm confident it's 2 generations on from seed ex G. 'Silver Shadow'

Well, that foliage of palmated, incised leaves looks quite decorative in itself. Is it evergreen (or semi-evergreen)? Is it actually a grey/blue kind of green as seen on your photo?
yes PJ, very attractive grey/blue, almost silvery. Better in the poor dry place it's growing in now, it was greener and duller where it was before. Ashamed to say I can't remember re evergreen
I have The Erodium you mentioned in flower, I spotted it on the way to the compost heap. When it stops p...ing down I'll see if I can get a shot.
Two photos of Erodium manescavii for PJ and an over-all view of the original geranium in question.
I've been researching Geranium robustum and, in the right place, it can be shrub-like to 3'. Mine is about 2' 6'' at its tallest. I am sure this is a second generation seeding of robustum x incanum but leaning much more towards robustum now.
Thanks for the photos of your Erodium manescavii specimens, nutcutlet. I happened to visit a garden this w-end where I photographed that plant for ID. Hope you don't mind my adding those 2 photos to your thread. And also that you can confirm they are indeed the same species as yours.

OK, nutcutlet. Can you post a photo of your own Erodium manescavii for comparison? TIA.

Hi
I wondered if it might be a variety of Anthemis or Artemisia? The ferny leaves look similar.

I'm not sure it is the same PJ, it looks as though your leaves have a more feathery edge than mine.
But I'm not an erodium expert, there might be variations within the species.
