Garden Context: Sunny South-facing Garden in North London, UK. Appers not hugely cared-for in the last decade.

Border Context: This photo is taken facing about North-North-East: enter image description here

My experience: Almost None! This is my First garden and I'm just learning the ropes.

I've started weeding through the over grown borders of the garden and left behind some plants I didn't recognise.

I vaguely reminds me of etoilated Pelargonia? But beyond that it looks like a pretty generic small plant.

What is it?

(No idea what sort of search terms to try.)

  • FYI, the plant in the background of the border photo is a (falling over) aquilegia. – Brondahl May 17 '20 at 14:05

  • Hard to tell until it flowers; there are multiple types of plant with leaves like that. Perhaps a cranesbill of some kind? – Vince Bowdren May 28 '20 at 14:45
  • @VinceBowdren it did indeed turn out to be a cranesbill / creeping geranium - something like Dragonheart. Do you want to make that an answer, to earn internet points? – Brondahl Jan 09 '22 at 20:25
  • that's very generous, but I suspect you did more work on getting the ID. You should answer yourself, providing a photo of it flowering; that would be a more useful answer than me just repeating my vague comment. – Vince Bowdren Jan 09 '22 at 23:03

    `I suspect you did more work on getting the ID` ... I mean ... I left it alone for several months and then google 'cranesbill' once it flowered :) But sure - I'll put up photos next time it flowers. – Brondahl Jan 10 '22 at 12:08

Turns out this flowered into something closely resembling a "Dragonheart" Cranesbill / Creeping Geranium.

Photos will follow, in summer.
