Thanks, Andrew, for identifying the flower. I’m sure you are right. I would never have spotted it as a geranium. “Mallow-Leaved Stork’s Bill from Malta–what an exotic name.

You were clever to recognize it as such. I’d only seen the “fluffy” variety of geranium.

I am REALLY bad at plant recognition. I have books that are supposed to explain it, but I still get it wrong almost every time.

I know ones I grow. I’m bad at guessing ones I don’t and hate looking things up so I rely on the kindness and patience of my friends.
