White cranesbill

Another hardy geranium, pale enough to read as white with a wash of pink at the base of each petal and purple veins carrying the colour outward. The veins are a landing strip - they run to the nectar, and a bee sees them far more strongly than we do. Cranesbills seed themselves around a border readily, which is likely why there is a drift of them here rather than one plant.

Birds, insects, plants and other wildlife, mostly from Brooklyn, with some from further afield.
