Erodium gruinum   Long-beaked Stork's-bill

Erodium gruinum whole Erodium gruinum close

The colour of this small Erodium (which used to be Geranium gruinum) is reminiscent of Geranium pratense (Meadow crane's-bill) but the flower is much smaller. As the name suggests the Stork's-bill seed piods are disproportionately large and long compared with the size of the flower.
