Identifications

Cut-leaved Crane's-bill (Geranium dissectum) by John Pilkington at 12:03 am 30/10/12
Confidence: It might be this.
Notes: Hairy stems, leaves and sepals. Leaves seem similar to Cut-leaved Crane's-bill; light pink petals with thin darker "veins"; triangular-shaped sepals; no typical long beak to fruit. Identification really a guess.
