A weed is only a plant that you don't want! The thing I like about this 'weed' geranium is the foliage turns red.

does that include the leaves then... sorry I never know whether foliage is everything or just certain parts of the plant

It's the leaves, Mookins. These do go a pretty shade of red.

Hi Mookins, It is Geranium Pratense, also called 'Herb Robert'. It is probably the commonest of the wild/native cranesbills, certainly in my own experience, and self-seeds very easily. Its seeds 'ping' by a tiny catapult mechanism which fling the seeds as far away as it can from the plant. I have some growing under my hedge. It frequently occurs in gardens, and throughout the countyside. It will also often grow in cracks in pavings. Kind regards.

thats amazing Jonathan, I love to read things like this it amazes me the way plants work there magic

thank you for that
