Wild Geranium - Geranium maculatum
These are so common in the summer, but their colors always startle me. They have pinkish-purple flowers with 5 petals. The individual flowers were approximately 20 mm in diameter. It has green leaves that are deeply cut and palmately 5-lobed with very hairy stems.
Habitat: Meadow in a mixed forest
