Plant ID ?

[B0D]

Can you help me ID this ?

Wild strawberry would be my guess.
Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will be along…

Download the Seek app - it allows you to take a photo of any plant and will usually tell you what it is

Wild strawberry leaves are more serrated and, I think, trefoil (3 leaflets attached to one stem). These look like the stem reaches the middle of the leaf - can't remember what that's called!

Maybe an escaped cultivated geranium but not sure about that. Any more context @B0D ? Where are they and what is growing around them?

Well I thought it was wild strawberry too, but its near a spot where I put some geum that never flourished even though supposed to be easy to grow.

it’s in a narrow bed beneath a old garden wall south facing. its a bit shaded out by next door planting.

I’m planning to redo the bed / replenish the soil/ move things around a wondering whether to rip it up. Ive never seen a flower , do Wild strawberries flower?

Leaves are tough and prickly, is it Avens/ herb bennet?

Yes, wild strawberries do flower, and they do have small strawberries too, they taste incredible. But as a pp says, the leaf shape is wrong. The leaves on your plant do resemble those of geum so it probably is, but it's not looking terribly happy.

Geum and strawberries are distantly related so that's why they look similar.

Looks like Geum to me.
Whether it's the one you planted, or the wild one (wood avens) I don't know, but it looks more voluptuous than the wild one to me, fingers crossed.

It looks rather like the two geum I planted this year

I think wood avens has pointer, more separated leaves. If you want to compare, there's usually loads of the bloody stuff in my garden... so I'd be going for the geum you planted.

My geums didn’t flower well this year, not sure if it was the weather or if they were too crowded by other stuff. Maybe move it somewhere else, perhaps in a pot and see what it does next year?

I’ve just used plant finder in my garden as didn’t want to dig up my geums that did flower well this year. Then I did it with a Geum to be sure . They look so similar.The one on the left came up as wood Aven or whatever it is,the one on the right Geum.

Thank you, I dug a lot of this up earlier, had no idea what it was but it had been spreading. I do have geums but in a different part of the garden.

Just looked at a picture online and the yellow flowers make it definite, Wood Avens.

Geum.
