I am now wondrering if it is small-flowered Cranesbill, g. pusillum. I can get better pics if that helps. |

Just a tip if you want an ID. If I come across a plant which I don't recognise, and that happens a lot, I make sure that I get pics of stem and leaf, top and base if it's a tallish plant, which assists forum members in giving response. |

The Postcode Plants Database - Natural History Museum
Don't forget this page, it could be really useful as well as WAB for ID in your area + plants to look out for. I thought I'd post the link as there are so many wildflowers I have never heard of before and still not come across in my area!
Cheers
Jez
