What is it?

Can anyone tell me what this plant is called please.
I was given a small piece of it last year and I just stuck it in the ground untill I found what it was how big it was etc.
It grew like wildfire.
Very pretty covered in the little red flowers.
The flies seem to love it.:(
What is it called?
And is it O.K to move it now?



Sorry it was a bit of a stupid photo for ID.
I've cut it back a bit because the rain flattened it and the flowers have mostly died off.
But this is a better photo of the leaves and size.
It is about 18 inches tall now when in full flower it was a lot taller.

 

Hard to tell but could poss be a Geum or maybe a Potentilla sp.

 

Hi Lyn
Its a little hard from the details and the pic, how tall is it and could you post another pic from another angle.

 

Could it be this http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?i...firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&sa=N

 

Hi Lyn, it looks like a red herbaceous potentilla. Probably Potentilla thurberi 'Monarch's Velvet'. See here:

Hi Lyn
thats a better photo, i agree with blackthorn ,its an herbaceous potentilla :thmb:

 

Thanks everyone for the info.
It's a great little plant for filling in the borders.
And so easy to grow.
I have it in the wrong place at the moment so hope to move it this week if the weather hold out.
