Geranium species



I looked at the Geranium species along the Access trail which I think I had classified as G. dissectum in the past. I toyed today with this ID, thinking this plant to be G. columbinum, the long stalked cranesbill. However a quick use of the hand-lens indicated glandular hairs on the old style at least. The fruits are also hairy.

There is also plenty of G. dissectum around already - its extremely common as an arable field weed in the Oil Seed Rape fields on the Fairlawne Estate, where I feel it presents very differently.
