ID please? (part 5)

I'm amazed this isn't in my flower books!

 

I think it may be a weed - Shiny Geranium lucidum.

 

Oh! It looks too nice for a weed! Thank you

 

Then its not a weed

There are many definitions of a 'weed', but it usually boils down to just being a plant growing where you don't want it. If you like that, and you're ok with where it is, then its not a weed.

Growing in my garden, I have feverfew and those wild geraniums you see everywhere. I want flowers in the garden. Ones that put themselves there save me a job.

 

it stays there'd only be bare soil there if I pulled it out anyway

 

The bees certainly like this! Maybe having the odd wildflower in the bed won't be such a bad thing
