Which storksbill is this?
Photographed in one of the wilder (woodland) areas at the University of
Liverpool Botanic Gardens, and I had assumed it was wild - there are several other species growing wild there. http://www.stewart.hinsley.me.uk/Images/Geran168.jpg (plant) http://www.stewart.hinsley.me.uk/Images/Geran169.jpg (flowers) http://www.stewart.hinsley.me.uk/Images/Geran179.jpg (flower) Having checked Keble-Martin I'm suspecting a pale-flowered form of Geranium phaeum. -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |

Seems to be a problem with the Photos, the first is only the top bit and the last won't load at all. However I would agree with you from what I can see. -- Regards Bob H 17mls W. of London.UK |

It's a pity I don't have a face-on photograph of a flower as the petal length to breadth ratio appears to be a convenient criterion for distinguishing the taxa. Thanks. -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |
