strawberry-like flower for ID please

Hello

I found this little plant in one of our pots, it was not planted at all.

Description: It has strawberry like leaves, with long stalks then a bunch of buds. The flowers are a deep red and black veined, they grow on a long stalk from the bunch of buds. The flower head is probably no bigger than a one pence piece.

When I first saw it I thought it was a wild strawberry plant. Here are some pics.







As I was uploading the pics, the name "geum" came to mind. I did a google search but didnt find anything like this.

All suggestions gratfully received.

Many thanks
Christina
