Geranium cinereum Ashy Crane's-bill
This is a low growing but large flowered Crane's-bill which looks every bit as spectacular in the wild as it does in a close-up photo. Varieties of this plant are grown and sold in garden centres and nurseries but in the wild it is found mostly in the central and western Pyrenees.
