I agree with Tabish ji and Pankaj ji,
the flowers and the buds are very much like Geranium and one Geranium leaf
left to the stem is also visible.

On second thought, I think I concur with Pankaj's earlier view that it
is a Geranium species, and the leaves in the background belong to
another plant (possibly an Eordium). In fact, right behind the flower
and the buds, is visible a leaf, which is very much like a Geranium
leaf.

Does look like an Erodium, but I would be surprised if it is Erodium
stephanianum. Petals look different. Also, in Erodium stephanianum
flowers, looking from above, the sepals, with long pin-like tips
should be visible alternating with the petals.
