Purple Flower

I have no idea what it is. The leaves look something like a geranium, but it doesn't stink like they do.

I think this is the Pelargonium graveolens. See if you agree...(you can see your plant better than me to compare them)

Not to be confused with the household variety of geranium, which is a completely different species. (which would explain why they don't stink) Pelargoniums' are native to South Africa, and the Sotho used a paste made from the leaves to treat wounds and abscesses. A decoction from the root is used by the Sotho to wash feverish patients.

Yes, I do believe you're right, HilWil. You've got a better eye and memory for plants than I do.
