    Can you identify this plant? It is low lying and pungent smell with light pick flowers. The picks were recently taken at the Sonnenberg Gardens, Canandaigua NY and the while in Niagara Falls Canada. I have been looking on the web with no luck. Thank you

    Dear bobhamas, unfortunately, the image that has been posted is too blurry for me to help you. I can tell this is a member of the Geraniaceae (geranium family), but I can't tell you whether or not it is a species of Erodium (stork's-bill) or Geranium robertianum (mountain crane's-bill). If you are able to get a higher quality image I would be able to assist you further. Best wishes.
