Nature’s jewelry under the macroscope...dovefoot geranium.

A macro capture of a tiny pink fower called the dovefoot geranium (geranium mole) in the grassy underworld. It’s amazing what beauty you can discover through a macro lens...a macroscope into another world under our feet.

 

This little plant is known by several names: Dove's Foot Geranium, Dove's Foot Cranesbill, and Geranium Molle. It is native to the Mediterranean and is considered an invasive species in the Pacific Northwest. Its stems and leaves are hairy and blooms start in mid April until early fall.
