Some very nice hybrid colours have been obtained in recent years from the original red geraniums that have adorned window boxes in Austria and France and Italy for centuries.

Sobieski park, Florist garden and Colonial garden.
The Florists’ Gardens are certainly among the most beautiful green areas of the Brussels region. Hosting old greenhouses from the time of Leopold II who has initiated this park, the Florist’s Gardens also offer a magnificent view on the city and are a harbor of piece close to one of the most visited attractions of Brussels, the Atomium.
Sobieski park is the Park adjoining the Colonial Garden and the Florists' Garden.
The Florists’ Gardens can be reached via the Sobieski park (close to metro Stuyvenbergh).
Possibly a geranium? :-)
One of my favourite parts of taking pictures is using a shallow depth of field........ don't ask me why, I just love the effects you can get :-)

Geranium maculatum - The flowers have five pale purple petals and ten stamens. The leaves are palmate with five deeply cut lobes which are deeply parted into three parts, each of which is again split and toothed. This plant was near a Friendly's restaurant in Carmel, New York.
Geranium is a genus of 422 species of flowering annual, biennial, and perennial plants that are commonly known as the cranesbills. They are found throughout the temperate regions of the world and the mountains of the tropics, but mostly in the eastern part of the Mediterranean region. The long, palmately cleft leaves are broadly circular in form. The flowers have five petals and are coloured white, pink, purple or blue, often with distinctive veining. Geraniums will grow in any soil as long as it is not waterlogged. Propagation is by semiripe cuttings in summer, by seed, or by division in autumn or spring. Confusingly, geranium is also the common name of members of the genus Pelargonium, which are also in the Geraniaceae family and are widely grown as horticultural bedding plants. The shape of the flowers offers one way of distinguishing between the two genera Geranium and Pelargonium. Geranium flowers have five very similar petals, and are thus radially symmetrical (actinomorphic), whereas Pelargonium (and also Erodium) flowers have two upper petals which are different from the three lower petals, so the flowers have a single plane of symmetry. 6130
