Flower ID

Not being the green fingered type, I have no idea what flowers are what, these just look like pink ones to me but the bees seem to love them, any ideas?

Type of geranium I think...

Cranesbill/geranium of a sort....there are large numbers...

Looks like Geranium Endressii to me.(Hardy geranium lover.)
I would plant geranium Rozanne or better still Azure Rush which has Rozanne as a parent. Both are bee magnets in a sunny spot and lovely blue colours.

I don't think you need to plant many more near the ones you have as they spread very well on their own. I have loads of them now from a couple planted a few years ago.
