I used to know what it is called but I've forgotten. It's not uncommon.
It's perennial, with habit and leaves like a species geranium. The
leaves have one dark spot in the middle of them. The flower is
burgundy/purple, reflexed like a potato flower with a pointy bit sticking
out the front. It is extremely attractive to bees.
The moment someone is able to suggest what it is, I'll recognise the name
immediately, it's on the tip of my tongue and it's driving me mad!
TIA


Geranium phaeum perhaps? Some of those have dark patches on the leaves.


Yes!!
Cheers, Bob.
