Could anyone give her a name?....I've had it suggested that it could be Gravetye Beauty fully opened.....but I think it is too big to be that....any ideas please

Thanks Grindle......I think I've sussed it out. I had a Rebecca about 4 years ago, which died on me.it was planted roughly where this one has scome up...I think this is her "re-incarnated".....maybe a sport. I'll wait and see if any more blooms appear and if they are more like the original

Glad you worked it out

The colour is right though. My C. Lady Diana disappeared for a year and looks marvellous this year so it does happen.

The consensus is to leave it it Geranium ;D.....Yes, I thought you would remember the original Cherry, I know you admired it. Yes the petals are narrower, that is why I wonder if it is a "sport". I'm going to wait and see how it performs for the rest of the year and next season too. Perhaps Evisons may be interested to hear about it if it continues to flower this way
