Name the flower please...
-
Looks like a Cranesbill (geranium). They come in many varieties so can't say which. They seed themselves and you can collect the new plants and move them to where you want them. When they finish flowering if you cut them back they may flower again later.
From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.

Bloody Cranes bill?
No - I'm not swearing! It looks like a type of hardy, native geranium, sometimes called Cranes Bills because the seed pods look like..... wait for it..... cranes bills!

It looks a bit too dark for a bloody cranesbill, so it might be a sodding mouring widow

Have a loo at these and see what you think

Never be afraid to try something new.

Definitely some sort of cranesbill or native geranium. Don't know which variety (if they have seeded themselves it could even be a completely new variety)

It's a lovely colour whatever type it is!
