Plant of the Day

Friday 29 August 2025

Making a great addition to this wall was the self-seeding Geranium robertianum 'Celtic White' (cranesbill, herb-robert, Robert's geranium). This white flowered form of the usually pink native Geranium robertianum is an annual or biennial . It will thrive in sun or shade in most soils.

Pied Flycatcher in a hawthorn tree and herb-Robert at Hayling Island on Sunday and phone photo of yew berries at Winchester Cathedral and my first Small Dusty Wave moth of the year always one I enjoy seeing at home today 03/09/2025. It was also amazing to see a big group of House Martins, Swallows and even at least a couple of late Swifts circling over Winchester flying quite low as it rained as they do given any insects will be lower down likely imminently leaving our shores on migration with Cormorant, Mute Swan and hawthorn berries also nice to see today.

Geranium robertianum (herb-Robert)

The stems and foliage of this geranium turn red at the end of the flowering season. As you can see, there's only a few of its small flowers left and the seed pods have that typical 'cranesbill' appearance that many species of geranium share. This plant is not native to Western North America but it's an inoffensive little thing with nice pink flowers, and it's welcome to grow in a little corner of our back garden.
