Geranium x oxonianum is the hybrid between Geranium endressii and Geranium versicolor, which has been bred by a gardener from Oxford. From that later plants with narrow petals have been selected which are called ... forma thurstonianum. There are several different cultivars of forma thurstonianum, the shown one is growing very good, I found it run wild near Waterville (County Kerry, Ireland). | ||
