Weed or wild flower.

What's this please with the small purple flowers - weed or wild flower?

I've got it all over my garden & I don't know where it's come from.

It's too pretty to uproot.

If its unwanted its a weed,if its to stay then its not,looks like a cranesbill.

If you have a smartphone there is a nifty app from the play store called plantnet it will identify plants for you.

Herb Robert, but if you like it keep it. (But it's pretty easy to remove if you don't)

Re: Weed or wild flower.

I have a lot of that in my wildflower area. I like most so called weeds.

Re: Weed or wild flower.

Carol, are the flowers white?

I ask because I am fairly sure both Herb Robert aqnd Cransebill both have pink flowers, so I'd be surprised if it were them.

Re: Weed or wild flower.

Same flowers Art asked about, Herb Robert.

Re: Weed or wild flower.

The flowers are a lilac colour. They look a bit pale in the picture.

Re: Weed or wild flower.

I just looked Herb Robert up on Google & it's definitely that.

caricature, thanks for telling me about plantnet. I am going to download the app.

Thanks everybody.
