What makes you think it is a geranium? Posted 10 years ago

  That's a good question. I was doing a Google image search and a photo came up looking quite similar, which was described as being a Geranium. You think it's wrong, right? Posted 10 years ago

    All the blue geraniums I checked had blue anthers. Also the stigma of many geraniums (I'm not sure if all) is split in five. From the very little I can see here, it doesn't speak geranium to me.

      Thank you, I fully trust you on this. Updated the title, and a note to myself to make more identifiable photos of plants. Posted 10 years ago
