        WP_20150507_12_52_47_Pro.jpg WP_20150507_12_37_19_Pro.jpg Looks like mine complete with the horse/mares tail that is sending me demented,my Geranium when I bought it was called Cranesbill Geranium and they vary in colour, shades of pink, I also have blue, white and purple. Great for the hedgehogs to hide in they run into it and the leaves do not even move. I really like it, one slight issue is that it seeds easy so keep an eye out for it in unwanted places. I bought mine 16 years ago I occasionally tidy it up but nothing else stops most weeds except that horsetail which is nasty I tried spraying that, these days I look out for it and pull it up I burn the puff balls which appear before the Christmas tree mares or horsetail and pull it up as soon as I see it. I have some campanula at the back and right side it will be fab soon blue stars creeping up fence. The bark is my Victoria plum I bought 18 years ago 99p great plums in summer.

        I think Marie has hit the nail on the head. looks like a variety of Geranium macrorrhizum, possibly "Bevans variety". A good value creeping variety which does well in the shade, forming a dense clump as the photo's above suggest. G macrorrhizum has a more distinctive smell to the leaves.
