Pelargonium is a genus of flowering plants which includes about 280 species of perennials, succulents, and shrubs, commonly known as geraniums, pelargoniums, or storksbills. Confusingly, Geranium is the botanical name and common name of a separate genus of related plants. Both genera belong to the family Geraniaceae. Wikipedia
Pelargonium, a genus of flowering plants in the family Geraniaceae, which includes about 280 species of perennials, succulents, and shrubs, commonly known as geraniums, pelargoniums, or storksbills.
Pelargonium species are evergreen perennials indigenous to temperate and tropical regions of the world, with many species in southern Africa. They are drought and heat tolerant, but can tolerate only minor frosts. Some species are extremely popular garden plants, grown as houseplants and bedding plants in temperate regions. They have a long flowering period, with flowers mostly in purple, red and orange, or white.
Pelargonium is a genus of flowering plants which includes about 200 species of perennials, succulents, and shrubs, commonly known as geraniums, pelargoniums, or storksbills. Confusingly, Geranium is the botanical name and common name of a separate genus of related plants (also known as cranesbills). Both genera belong to the family Geraniaceae. Linnaeus originally included all the species in one genus, Geranium, and they were later separated into two genera by Charles L’Héritier in 1789. Pelargonium species are evergreen perennials indigenous to temperate and tropical regions of the world, with many species in southern Africa. They are drought and heat tolerant, but can tolerate only minor frosts. Some species are extremely popular garden plants, grown as houseplants and bedding plants in temperate regions. They have a long flowering period, with flowers mostly in purple, red and orange, or white. The shape of the flowers offers one way of distinguishing between the two genera Geranium and Pelargonium. Geranium flowers have five very similar petals, and are thus radially symmetrical (actinomorphic), whereas Pelargonium (and also Erodium) flowers have two upper petals which are different from the three lower petals, so the flowers have a single plane of symmetry.

The Regal Pelargonium originates from South Africa and belongs to the Geraniaceae family, the cranesbill or storksbill family. How did this family get its special name? The name Pelargonium originates from the Greek ‘pelargos’ which means stork and refers to the mouth of the seed pod on the Regal Pelargonium.

Pelargonium is a genus of flowering plants which includes about 280 species of perennials, succulents, and shrubs, commonly known as geraniums, pelargoniums, or storksbills.
The first species of Pelargonium known to be cultivated was P. triste, a native of South Africa. It was probably brought to the Botanical Garden in Leiden before 1600 on ships which had stopped at the Cape of Good Hope. In 1631, the English gardener John Tradescant the elder bought seeds from Rene Morin in Paris and introduced the plant to England. By 1724, Pelargonium had been introduced to Europe.
Zonal pelargoniums (Pelargonium × hortorum Bailey) are known as "zonal geraniums" because many have zones or patterns in the center of the leaves.

Out from the low-hanging clouds Sun suddenly sent a single splash of light brightening Late-Autumn Pink right at my hiking feet. Here's tiny Red Stem Storksbill or Filaree. 'Filaree' is a form of 'alfilaria' which goes back on Spanish and Arabic; it refers to the 'pin-like' seed capsules of our plant. The on-line OED doesn't give 'Filaree'; you'll have to go to other dictionaries or botanical handbooks to follow that word up.
At this time of the year there are no insects to be enticed by the pretty flower spots on the lower petals.
AKA "storksbill". Flower is maybe 1/2" (1.3 cm) wide. Note nice boheh! Color pattern is very odd: not at all what I saw! I wonder if the petals look different in long-wave UV? Comments? Does the iphone sensor see into the near UV?
Storksbill Filarees are European import, like the smaller-flower filaree, which is also having a good spring.
The wild geraniums are having a very good spring, as are the smaller, pinker filaree. In average years, both are pretty inconspicuous.
Thanks to Marlin Harms for the flower ID!
This Brown Argus (Aricia agestis) is interesting because it was at an altitude of more than 1000 feet asl in the Pennines near to where I live. This butterfly used to be restricted to warm, south-facing chalk downland sites in the south where its caterpillars fed on Rock-rose. There were also a few scattered additional sites, mainly on coastal dunes but also in the Brecks where the larval foodplants were Dove's-foot Cranesbill or Common Storksbill. But in the 1990s the butterfly began to spread, utilising these other two plants. This was thought to be due to a combination of setaside (the policy of leaving some arable land fallow) plus a warming climate, as the caterpillars need warmth to develop. I searched the area thoroughly where the butterflies were and there was no Rock-rose, Storksbill nor Dove's-foot Cranesbill. But there was another Cranesbill growing abundantly; Cut-leaved Cranesbill (Geranium dissectum) which must have been the larval foodplant. This was only the second time I have seen Brown Argus locally, the other was in 2019, but that was a mere 260 feet asl, not even close to the 1089 of this colony.
One final thing, some might look at the tiny amount of white by the discal forewing spot and say this is Northern Brown Argus (A. artaxerxes salmacis), but they are invariably single-brooded and do not emerge until mid June at the earliest. Brown Argus usually has two broods, one emerging in May, the other in July. Here's the salmacis form of Northern Brown Argus showing some forewing white for comparison (taken 23 June 2018): www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/43229942011/in/photolist

With the frilly flowers of the regal pelargonium this makes them definitely the best pelargonium belonging to the geraniaceae family.

Geranium robertianum, commonly known as herb-Robert, red robin, death come quickly, storksbill, fox geranium, stinking Bob, squinter-pip (Shropshire), crow's foot, or (in North America) Roberts geranium, is a common species of cranesbill native to Europe and parts of Asia, North America, and North Africa.

From 1839 to 1843 Charlemagne Théophile Lefebvre (1811-1860) led an exploratory mission to what was then called Abyssinia. One of the naturalists of that expedition was Léon Richard Quartin-Dillon (???-1840). He and his collagues collected many plants which were delivered to Georg Heinrich Wilhelm Schimper (1804-1878) who had settled adventurously in Ethiopia in 1836. Thus Quartin-Dillon's plants in the end arrived in Europe. Among them this Pelargonium multibracteatum which he'd collected in the valley of the Tekezé and near Axum.
A fascinating account of the expedition is Lefebvre's journal which also writes intimately and movingly about Quartin-Dillon's death during that mission.

Found this tiny wild flower in the garden. So tiny that's it was almost invisible despite the vibrant colours - only noticed it as I was lying on the ground looking at other flowers with a lens and extension tube setup. This whole flower, not quite fully open, is no more than 4-5mm across.
I really prefer shooting subjects in their natural environment in ambient light but it was too breezy to get a decent shot so I bought one inside and used a flash...
After some research it seems this is called Common Storksbill, a type of wild dwarf geranium.

The Common Storksbill is a common plant of dune slacks and dry grassy places around the coasts of Wales.Here on my patio @ SE22..its small, geranium-like flowers over several months from early summer, this low, spreading perennial will really add colour to a gravel garden, patio pot or alpine bed.
