a hybrid from Jos Vandeweyer , completely yellow leaves in spring . Parents unknown , possibly a collinum .
I think I need to try a different setting as they come out paler than they are - this, in real life, is a strong colour!

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 beautiful flower which is native to the Pyrenees.

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.)

Geranium-esk flower... probably a species not a hybrid?

Perennial geraniums are one of the most useful plants in a UK garden. They are evergreen,weed supressing and flower for about 6 - 8 weeks. After flowering give them a hard prune and in 4 weeks or so they'll flower a second time. They are available in pink,red,blue , blue and white and white and vary in height from 20-50 centimetres.
They can be underplanted with the taller spring bulbs such as daffodils or tulips.
