Great macro shot. I can see the pollen on the petals.

I never managed to capture an image of them with such clarity, but we had these in the Wasatch Mountains, also…in purple and white. Beautiful, Terry.

Yes, this species seems to be pretty common across the west.

Such a sharp photo of a beautiful flower. Lovely details of the pollen and stamen. It’s popping out from my screen and I feel like I could touch it!

Wow, that’s bright! We have a similar wild geranium here, but maybe not quite so vivid! Great photo.

Until the last year, we always had lousy luck growing domestic Geraniums, but luckily there are lots of wild ones around!

What a beautiful color. And I suspect the common name “sticky geranium” is somehow related to the “viscosissimum” in the scientific name. As I recall, viscous fluids can be thick and sticky. The pollen surely seems glued on.

That could well be, or the name could have come from the sharp-looking hairs on the stems and leaves. I just love that color!

“Wild Geranium,” sounds like an appellation given to a backwoods wildchild. Beautiful.

This was the first of their blooms that I saw this year. Since, many more have been in bloom and we will continue to see them for some time still.
