Wild Geranium (Geranium maculatum)
Frequently found in our woodlands, these are also called Cranesbills, because of the distinctive seedpods that look like the head of a long-billed bird.
The “bill” is an ingenious spring-loaded mechanism that, when the pod dries, suddenly releases and flings the seeds into the air with amazing force.
The five-petaled flowers come in shades of pink ranging from lavender to deep rose.
Photographed April 30 with a Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z6. These plants were blooming in the Kane Woods Nature Area in Scott Township.
