I don't see Geum rivale very often - there's a colony about 6 miles
away, but I overlooked it when passing on the way to the garden
(perhaps it was past flowering) - but I do have the impression that it
is a less compact plant than the one photographed.


It has upright flower stems in the same way as Geum urbanum, though a
bit floppier. I have a lot of it in my garden, and it's about knee
height, a bigger plant than Geum urbanum, but otherwise similar in form
apart from the drooping flowers.
