  • Question

    Sorry if this is a duplicate but I was having trouble posting. I have three I can't figure out. Here is the first one. I believe it is in the Geranium family but the white flower is throwing me off. Is it perhaps a variation of Spotted Cranesbill?

    Answer

    Jgreco, you certainly have a species of Geranium. Without measurements of petals, anthers, etc., I'm unable to give you a confident answer, though Geranium maculatum could be the plant's identity. If you visit the Go Botany website and use the dichotomous key, you can access all the measurements you need to identify this plant. Best wishes.
