It looks to me like a variety of Lavatera

They look like geraniums to me! – the perennial, hardy, kind not the cultivated pelargonium, multi-floret type.:)

I wondered about that, but the leaves don’t look good for geranium to me (and yes, I mean proper geraniums too!)

Lavatera thuringiaca perhaps?

Thanks much! I googled “lavatera” and yes the flowers in the photo do seem to be lavatera.
You’re welcome. Otherwise known as mallows, or tree mallows.

Seems like we got there in the end
My lavatera is no more ……… but I do have different kinds of geraniums around the garden – with different-shaped leaves
Mike – yours looks like my ‘Johnson’s Blue’ but I have others with small pink flowers and small leaves, small purple flowers/small leaves, and small pale pink flowers with larger leaves – confusing huh? Cheers, Maureen
