    Hello,
    As you walk from the garden entrance on the paved path towards the underpass, about halfway there is on the left side a big clump of Geranium pratense 'Plenum Violaceaum'. A few steps further, on the right side, there is a big clump of lavender-blue flowering Geranium (cranesbill). It is in full bloom right now (Jul 13). I was not able to find a name tag.
    Could you please give me the full botanical name for this lavender-blue flowering Geranium?
    Thank you.
    Ernst

    Hello Ernst,

    This should be Geranium himalayense 'Plenum', a 1993 accession.

    Hi Danial,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I had already surmised that it is G. himalayense 'Plenum', but I'm not a plantsman but a photographer and wanted to be sure.
    Thanks again.
    Ernst
