    I think it is one of those varieties of scented Pelargonium.

    You have lots of photos from San Francisco and Sunnyvale, CA! I haven't went down there for the purpose of photography yet.

    These are what I thought Pelargonium odoratissimum, photographed from SFO Zoo only. Are they same?

    There are some other Pelargonium species that have scent as well. http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/adv_search.php?searcher[com... Did you smell the leaves? What they smelled like might help narrow things down.
