Druce's Cranesbill (Geranium endressii x versicolor = G. x oxonianum) (07/08/2023) By pavement on left of road towards Small Dole Stores. Druce's is a collection of hybrids so the flowers vary quite a bit, but they all tend to have veins darker than the flower, unlike French's where they tend to be a similar colour.

Druce's Cranesbill (Geranium endressii x versicolor) (Geranium x oxonianum) (08/05/2022) Near Small Dole Stores, Small Dole, Henfield, W Sussex.

Perhaps like the variability of the anthers, it is to do with being a hybrid?
