Crane’s-bills

Meadow Crane’s-bill (Geranium pratense)

Pencilled Crane’s-bill (Geranium versicolor)

French Crane’s-bill (Geranium endressii)

I have always had Crane’s-bills geraniums growing in my gardens. They have to be one of my very favourtie flowers which die down in the autumn and pop up again in the spring, year after year. The colours and patterns are so vivid, and they attract a lot of different species of bee and bumblebee.
