| Richardson's Geranium; Uintas Kamas Lake, 7/18/20, David Kenison |
Also known as White Crane's Bill. Geraniums are sometimes called Crane's Bills because of the curved shape of their seed pods. From the Geranium (Geraniaceae) family.
White Richardson's Geraniums are often found in shadier and moister areas than their purple cousins, the Sticky Geranium, and are less common. The flower is usually quite, sometimes with a tinge of pink or purple, and about an inch in diameter.
Named after Sir John Richardson (1787-1865), a British arctic explorer and naturalist.
