  • What's this wildflower, please?

    I have to admit, with an amateur botanist for a mum and a wildlife and landscape conservation degree in my dim past, I'm not often stumped, at least for the family, but this one has me flummoxed. Flower is wrong for a cranesbill or a vetchling...?

    But I'm chuffed, too, as I seriously considered spraying off the weedy patch I wanted as green space for the boys, when we took on the other half of the plot. Instead I've just mowed it, and the species diversity is incredible. 😍

    Looks geranium like.

    Google search came up with doves foot cranesbill? Ah youve said flower wrong. Yer so many geranium types.

      I was thinking geranium... Do all cranesbill have the spur on the back of the flower, because this hasn't got that bit?

              Well that answers my question : not all cranesbill flowers look alike...

              Thank you, burnie, not one I knew.
