Pink Crainsbill
Crainsbill is a type of Gerainium that some consider more of a weed than a flower. However, I prefer to think of it more as a pretty flower, than a weed. It’s the seed heads that tend to resemble the bill of a crane. The translation of the Greek word geranos is crane.
Beautiful picture. I like the water on the petals.
Though, I was expecting The Crane Wife by the Decemberists as your accompanying music! Or maybe that’s just the title of the album. I can’t remember…

What a beautiful flower. I wish I had more “weeds” like that.
