The Latin name for this one is Geranium pusillum and its common name is Small-flowered Cranesbill. The best image I could find to confirm this was from a wonderful botanical garden blog in...RUSSIA! So how did this little guy get in my garden and gardens all across the U.S.? Visit our wonderful host Lisa to see other mysteries at http://lisaschaos.com/ . It's a fun group!
By the way, our garden variety Geraniums aren't in the Geranium family! David/ Tropical Texana
The little bee or fly is extremely tiny...measured in millimeters!
Here's the leaf and actual size.
Thanks for stopping by.
I have those too. I always loved the shape of the leaves.
ReplyDeleteGood morning David....your pretty little geranium is very similar to our native cranesbill....herb robert. I have many dotted around my garden and consider them a wonderful gift.
ReplyDeleteOf course, please use the quote from Francis Bacon....you are welcome to use anything from my blog, just let me know that you are doing so.
Have a good week and thanks so much for dropping by......
