Some Leaves of the pink-flowered Cranesbill Geranium

Pink Flower, Cranesbill Geranium. Note the amazing pattern of growth ‘veins’ in the petals and the tiny deep pink ‘flower’ in the middle surrounded by its yellow-green exploding halo, which looks like a Jacobean collar, surrounding the head of the tiny deep pink flower in the middle. This is actually the flower’s ‘bill’, a ‘beak’ containing the flower’s one seed, which the bill spits, at its appropriate trigger, into the wide world. The five petals are therefore, protection for the flower’s seed pod. There’s a metaphysical level of meaning here, folks!
Ah very very nice. I do like the intense sense of autumn gold in this.

The photo of the geranium is not contemporary. I have rows of them in my garden; but I can say that they are flowering in my garden still, now, November 2016, which is extraordinary.
