Comment: Geranium robertianum ssp. robertianum is a very common plant growing in the whole Mediterranean, all European plains and mountains from Pyrenees to Carpathians (except Dinaric mountains), in North America and Asia, on all kind of ground, preferably semiruderal, wasteland and other not really respected places. It flowers from April to the end of November. Its flowers are small and inconspicuous and, in addition, it has an unpleasant smell. No wonder - it is considered a weed! But it belongs to a very beautiful genus Crane's Bills (Geranium). Hundreds of cultivars have been made by gardeners. And in did, when looked from close even Geranium robertianum looks convincingly beautiful.

This is my best guess as to identity; might also be something like G. x magnificum, which is a hybrid involving platypetalum.
This photo with shows stamens that have already senesced (anthers are gone, filaments reflexed), while the five stigmatic branches are fully mature and receptive. Geraniums are 'protandrous sequential hermaphrodites' -- flowers include both male and female function, but one at a time with the male function/pollen production first (as shown in other photos here).
Geranium 'Ann Folkard', early June. A popular hardy perennial with deep magenta flowers that bloom on long, wandering stems with bright green leaves that are yellow when young.
