Wildflower ID help pls

[Jux]

I'm sure you'll all know immediately, but I cannot for the life of me remember what the pink one in this photo is! You'll think me dumb as anything and when you tell me I'll think utter "doh! Of course!".

Make an old lady happy...

The pink one, hmm?

Did you forget to add the photo.....?

Forgot the pic...!

Is it a geranium? Would like to know as we have lots in the garden.

Looks like Herb Robert. Pretty, but a great spreader.

Is that campion?

A kind of wild geranium, I’m pretty sure.

Campion has different leaves @Branleuse.

Its def herb Robert

It is herb robert. I'm overwhelmed by the stuff

I am over whelmed but I meant the garden is overrun

Herb Robert, it's lovely.

I hate herb Robert. The smell URGH

Yes, it's Herb Robert, which is a geranium - Geranium robertianum.

It looks very nice in your arrangement by the way.

Just came on to say that's a really pretty arrangement.

Thanks all! Herb Robert, then. Funnily enough that is not a familiar name to me at all.

PurplePonderer and DeborahAnnabelToo. Thank you. DH did it. We fiddled about for ages trying to find something decent to put them in; I'll tell him his flower arrangement has garnered approval

Thanks all! Herb Robert, then. Funnily enough that is not a familiar name to me at all. What about "Stinking Bob"?

The flower looks a bit big for Herb Robert. Although if it stinks when you rub it - I’m wrong and it is indeed.

I killed a large patch of it this year by smothering in cardboard & compost. I don’t miss it!!!

Aah stinky bob we have a huge patch of it as it fills a grotty back border and looks lovely. It does spread like buggery though!

Yes, it's stinky!

MereDint, I've not heard of stinky bob either - maybe it didn't grow where I grew up (near Wimbledon in the 60s). We're in Devon now and it's everywhere you look! Perhaps people were more assiduous in eliminating 'weeds' back then.

jcurve, maybe it's a bit bigger because we've not ever attacked it? (I always thought it was quite pretty so left it to do its own thing). That's the bit of the garden which we've just let grow as it likes. The only thing I ever did to it was to scatter a packet of wildflower seeds in the grass and I thought it'd all been eaten by birds until about 8 years ago (3 or 4 years after the strewing!). Not touched since at all.

It's also full of little wild strawberries, and loads of primroses. I really like it.

The flower looks a bit big for Herb Robert. No, that's fine, remember the yellow things with it are buttercups. Half the size of a buttercup is fine for Herb Robert.
