 Paghat's Garden: Geranium x cantabrigiense 'St. Ola'
If I were to hazard a difference, 'Biokovo's' white flowers age more quickly to salmon pink, while 'St Ola' remains longer a pure white, & even the stamins are colorless, unlike 'Biokovo' with pink stamens.
It is not likely that many who already have the earlier 'Biokovo' will find any real justification for adding 'St Ola' to one's collection of hardy geraniums, or visa-versa.
I sometimes regard 'Biokovo' the prettier of the two, other days 'St Ola' seems to be in finer form, but they are far too similar to ascribe superiority to either one.
