Geranium rotundifolium
Geranium rotundifolium is another beautiful widespread geranium. The leaves of this species are very round compared to most other members of the geranium family, hence its name "rotundifolium", also commonly known as Round-leaved Crane's Bill. Compared to Dovesfoot (Geranium molle), the downy leaves are bigger, frequently spotted with red dots on the inner end of each lobe, and a reddish outline on the fringes. The stems are often reddish, too. The relatively small, simple flowers have a fresh appearance of rosy-pink and white. (http://robinsyard.blogspot.gr/2012/04/ge...)
