This is my best guess as to identity; might also be something like G. x magnificum, which is a hybrid involving platypetalum.
Flowers shown here have nearly mature stamens, anthers ready to open and shed pollen, while the five stigmatic branches are still tightly bundled with receptive surfaces hidden -- the earlier stage of 'protandrous sequential hermaphroditism', favoring out-crossing over self-pollination (see other photos here for other stages).
a hybrid from Jos Vandeweyer , completely yellow leaves in spring . Parents unknown , possibly a collinum .
A beautiful flower which is native to the Pyrenees.
France, Hautes-Alpes, Jardin alpin du Lautaret, 9th July 1993
I planted the same type of perennial geranium at home and on my mother's grave. Now I know when they're in bloom. (This is the one at home.)
