We have this plant which grows in the old mortar of the old high walls around parts of our site. It is giving a lovely colour this year (light pink flowers) - I think the wet weather is helping it a lot!
The pictures don't really reflect how pretty it is as they were taken on a dull day. Please let me know if you know the name of the plant. You can click on any of the images to zoom in.
I have just been informed that it probably Geranium robertianum. Common name herb Robert.
ReplyDeleteA weed to most folk.

It probably is a weed but I don't mind it on the old walls - I have removed it from the flower beds though. As the walls are over 8ft high it breaks up the grey of them nicely!
