Carolina Cranes-bill
Closely related to the Wild Geranium this native is tolerant of a wide range of habitats, and is found throughout the contiguous United States, excepting Colorado.
Unlike some of its cousins in the Geraniaceae family, this pretty flower, also known as Carolina Geranium, had no medicinal or other utility for Native Americans.
The common name, Cranes-bill—for this plant and its cousin, Wild Geranium—is said to derive from the pointed shape of their seed pods. (See arrow right)
Although deemed moderately invasive, it is relatively easy to remove from the garden because of its shallow roots.
But, after due consideration of its splendor, I'd say this delicate lily is worth the price and welcome it to my field!
