What flower?

Hi! I was wondering if someone could tell me what these flowers are? They are pinky lilac in colour, circular in shape and grow on tall stems. They have large dark green leaves (bit like a geranium) and spread in a similar way to a strawberry plant. They are lovely and loved by bees and butterflies but neither my mum not I can identify them! Can anyone help? I will try and attach a pic.

Hi Donna
To attach a picture click on the green tree icon on the toolbar above where you type your post, and follow the instructions. Sadly it doesn't work for phones - yet!
If it doesn't work let us know and we'll try to help

Maybe sidalcea?

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
Mine appeared out of nowhere 3 yrs ago. When it got big enough I divided the 1 plant into 3 (spring 2013), then divided the 3 plants into 9 (spring 2014). Grows very well in both full sun and slight shade.
Haven't tried cuttings, but would prob work from new growth in the spring. I divided mine with 2 back-to-back forks - very easy.
