I am happy to stand corrected in my naming as I am not a flower expert.
A collection of wild flowers spotted on todays walk.
This pink flower is growing in large patches in on of the horse field we cross looking on line I think it is Geranium robertianum,
It has lots of common names herb-Robert,[red robin, death come quickly, storksbill, fox geranium, stinking Bob, squinter-pip , crow’s foot.
It is a type of cranesbill.




This blue flower is growing at the fields edge I know it as Speedwell. Veronica chamaedrys is its scientific name. Other common names include. Bird’s-eye speedwell, or cat’s eyes, germander speedwell.




Beautiful!
Except, not so much the name, Stinking Bob! 😉

I would agree with your namings. I also wonder, how Geranium robertianum is felt as stinking to someone, everybody I know likes the strong smell.

That’s what I think, too. Strong, but with nice childhood-memories 🙂

Very pretty and delicate Andy. I don’t know my wildflowers and should invest in a Michigan wildflower book so maybe I could call them by name.
