Geraniums

Posted by
Steven (Chicagoland, United States) on 5 August 2019 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

Spotted this in the back yard, which I've never seen before. They appear to be a weed. They were tiny flowers flourishing behind the garage, but were short-lived. Have you ever seen these before or know their name?

Thank you to Grouser who identified them.

My first thought was periwinkles, Steven, but I'm not really good at naming most flowers. Regardless, how delightful!

I have bunches of these in my yard too. The flowers are a bit pinker, but leaves are the same. Beautifully presented.

There were many Geraniums near where I lived growing up. I seem to recall red ones the most.
