Title: not really wildlife....wildflowers
Post by: gary yankech on May 25, 2013, 07:19:57 PM

These I found in the Rouge....two of which are considered invasive weeds, but still pretty. The pictures are deceiving, I used a macro lens to capture these tiny flowers. Any ideas to what the undetermined one is?

Hey Gary,

Great shots!  Your undetermined flower is Herb Robert (Geranium robertianum).  It grows great in our backyard even though we didn't plant it.

Walter :)
