Anyone know what this is?

Another mystery plant

We're making half of our garden into a wildflower area, so there are loads of things in it I don't recognise! Some came out of wildflower scatter packs last year, some have just popped up on their own.

I wondered if anyone could tell me what this one is? I have two of them, quite large plants with big leaves on long stems, but no flowers or flower heads yet!

Herb robert?

Definitely not herb Robert, we have loads of that

These leaves are on individual, long stems from a big central plant. Slightly hairy, not shiny.

Might it be some kind of hardy geranium?

Ooh, I hope so!

Having googled some more, I think it is a hardy geranium! How exciting

Thank you @BewareTheBeardedDragon

Interestingly Nerdishly, Herb Robert is a hardy geranium too, but that one does look like one of the other more interesting ones.

Try an app called Seek by Inaturalist

I was going to say geranium

How nice - they often have a lovely smell if you brush the leaves.

I think it might be Bloody cranesbill. The leaves are similar.

No, too finely dissected for G. phaeum. Possibly G pratense, meadow cranesbill. Whether it’s that or not, I’m willing to bet it has large blue flowers.
