Dove's Foot Cranesbill - Geranium molle

I've often seen these tiny pink flowers in the local parkland and wondered what they were. Closer examination revealed colourful purple stamens loaded with pollen. I discovered that they were a type of wild geranium which always make good photographic subjects. The name Cranesbill derives from the Fruit's resemblance to the bill of a Crane.
