| | | Three flowers from the local park for ID This reminded me of bistort, but it isn't! It is growing at the edge of a lawn:
A scabious, but am unsure of the species (sorry there are not more leaves in the photo, I can get a leafy pic if needs be!)
And finally, I think it's a species of geranium (I first thought campion, perhaps a cross between a red and a white, but as far as I see there is only bladder campion in the immediate area):
Thanks! |

Cheers Jacob | Agreed apart from wrong scientific name for Redshank which is P. maculosa! P. vivipara is the much rarer Alpine Bistort. |
