For the Love of Purple. Dangling Marsh-Lover, Helophilus pendulus, on Geranium sanguineum, Bloody Cranesbill, Hortus Botanicus, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Our flower would seem, I think, to be a Bloody Cranesbill. But it's not marked as anything in the Hortus. Regardless, Helophilus pendulus, that wonderful Marsh-Loving Hoverfly, has found it even if the Hortus is not near any marsh. But there's plenty of water around in the canals of Amsterdam.
