Today a native flower from Europe.

Latin name - Geranium molle

Geranium molle or Dove's-foot Crane's-bill is an annual plant found in hedges, banks and waste ground. It is native to west and central Europe, but it has also been introduced to other areas of the globe, including North America.

It is found by experience to be singularly good for wind cholic, as also to expel the stone and gravel in the kidneys. The decoction thereof in wine, is an excellent good cure for those that have inward wounds, hurts, or bruises, both to stay the bleeding, to dissolve and expel the congealed blood, and to heal the parts, as also to cleanse and heal outward sores, ulcers and fistulas; and for green wounds, many do only bruise the herb, and apply it to the places, and it heals them quickly. The same decoction in wine fomented to any place pained with the gout, or to joint-aches, or pains of the sinews, gives much ease. The powder or decoction of the herb sinews, gives much ease. The powder or decoction of the herb taken for some time together, is found by experience to be singularly good for ruptures and burstings in people, either young or old.

I love the delicate flowers of this family. Great isolation and detail here - the dark green BG really lifts this shot.

Hello Gert,
I'm very fond of Geraniums and have several species flowering in my rockery at the moment. We have plenty in the wild here too as they like the limerich soil. This is a lovely capture of the little 'molle' with the pretty flowers really standing out from the fine soft background. Great focus and sharpness and lovely colours.
Many thanks, Ulla

Hi Gert, I have just imaged the same specie, but your image is better.... very good capture to get 3 images across the whole area... very well done and excellent notes. regards h
