2$\begingroup$ Identifications questions should also include: 1) habitat information — e.g. was this growing in a marsh? were there any other plants nearby that you could identify?; and 2) an estimate of the size of the organism. Please edit your post to include this essential information. ——— Also note that such questions should be given the species-identification tag and that thanks/signatures etc. should not be included in SE posts. $\endgroup$– tyersomeFeb 20, 2022 at 21:43

1$\begingroup$ How nice it would be if all images of flowers were stereographic like this (from here). =) $\endgroup$– user21820Feb 21, 2022 at 17:45

That looks like it could be a cultivar of Geranium sanguineum (Bloody crane's-bill or Bloody geranium) or something closely related.
Image source: Keith Weller, USDA Agricultural Research Service, Bugwood.org — CCA3.0.
Some features that are consistent with this id are: the five identical bilobed petals, flower size and shape, hairy stems, and leaf form (palmate with five lobes each with three large 'teeth'). The flower features I can distinguish rule out related genera such as Pelargonium and Erodium, which have flowers that are not radially symmetrical. If this is a Geranium, then there should be 10 free stamens and the stigma should have a style with 5 branches.
This species is cultivated and typically blooms from June to August, which fits your described location and time.
