purple cranesbill
A clump-forming perennial to 70cm tall, with lobed, hairy green leaves and dark-veined, rich violet flowers 4-5cm wide, in early summer; very prolific, but a short flowering season
It was sea-misty but with some periods of brightness. They showed off the beautiful black of Our Bird, a Scrub Blackbird. It was collecting nesting material in a just-watered flowerbed of geraniums in a cliff-top park at Miraflores. Now and then a second bird would utter its really very melodious song. Warszewiczi is for Józef Warszewicz (1812-1866), Polish botanist and inveterate naturalist and traveler. In a second voyage to South America 1851-1853, he was at Guayaquil, Ecuador, robbed of everything he had but continued his travels to Peru until ill health forced him back to Europe.

Geranium Mayflower has to be one of my favourite hardy geraniums. The petals are so blue and fringed with a deeper blue (not chromatic aberration!) I also have a white variety growing in the garden, but I prefer the blue.
Every time I walk past these 2 which are growing side by side I am struck by how good they look together.
Thank you so much for sharing your quality photos which is a great way to see and keep some sort of touch with the world from home. Also for your kind comments and favours which are much valued.
I am not able to take on any more members to follow or to post to groups
Also known as Cranesbill because of it's beak like seed capsule.
Notice the oak tree catkins on the leaves. I have never seen so many of these before. They are everywhere!
"A single oak tree produces both male and female flowers. The male flowers are tiny yellow structures that grow along a slender stalk. The stalked structure is called a catkin. The stalk with its flowers looks a bit like a yellow worm dangling from the tips of the oak branches. The female flowers are small pink to red structures that are also located near the twig tip. The male flowers produce pollen which is carried by wind to female flowers, often on a different tree. The amount of pollen produced by a large oak tree is enormous and the flowers continue producing pollen for several weeks. Unlike flowers that are pollinated by bees or other animals, the pollen of oaks floats freely in the air and is inhaled by people. Many people are allergic to oak pollen and the large amounts and long duration of oak pollen production can make oaks one of the more serious spring allergens."

Unfortunately, I am one of those with an allergy to oak pollen.

Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment and favoring my images. Enjoy the day.
I know this doesn't look like a typical geranium,. however, according to Google this is it's name
Within a few short days, our backyard went from having only a few flowers to a whole yard full. Almost every plant has at least one bud or blossom now. It sure looks like spring has sprung . More flowers to come :))
