Wildflower - Wild Geranium

The Wild Geranium is a wildflower that likes damp/partially shaded ground and I found this example growing at the edge of our lawn (next to the spot where I got the lawn mower stuck). I was lucky to catch this Twelve-spotted Lady Beetle (Coleomegilla maculata) on a Wild Geranium flower.



The Wild Geranium flowers are only 1 to 1½ inches across, with 5 rounded pink to lavender petals.



This wild flower can easily be used in a shade garden.
