Its funny but I'm sure the flowers on this plant were supposed to be lilac? I think MIL said a name beginging with L? Waiting for a reply to a picture text, but may be a while if she's working.

I think it's a Geum...did you say it had strawberry plant shaped leaves Emsey? If so it's prolly Geum 'Mrs J Bradshaw'  Does it look like that? |

It is far more like one of the Potentillas than a Geum. Hard to say which one exactly, but the colour is most like one called Gibson's Scarlet, but it could be Miss Willmott, they are very similar when photographed.  |

From how you describe the leaves Emsey, and that you thought it should begin with L and that it should be lilac, .......a Lavatera? The flowers don't look like one though.

I think it was supposed to be a lavatera but pehaps mil had pulled up the wrong plant. It looks like ob's pic, so I think he and The witch are right. Have looked at gibsons scarlet and miss wilmot cant decide, prolly more like miss wilmot.
