We came across a striking looking flower hidden in our friends garden
amongst the aquilegias. Can anyone identify it please? URL address below. http://static.flickr.com/59/159915251_9f3f61deed_o.jpg J. |

I think the blue petals ( and the white) are from the Aquilegia. I like that colour blue and don't think there is a geranium matching it. |

Geum leaves have pinnately arranged serrated lobes. The leaves of the plant in the question are deeply divide palmately arranged lobes. I'd agree the petals are from the aquilegia. Perhaps La Puce is thinking that the lobed leaves are geranium rather than belonging to the yellow flower? - they are similar to geranium leaves but not quite right. -- Kay |

In my garden, flowers grow through other plants and give the impression that a flower, say marguerite, would belong to the fatsia leaves because it is growing through it. I like this very much ) Here is the blue geranium in my garden. The leaves are very similar to the OP's picture. http://cjoint.com/?giltf6kFT8 This is the Johnson's one, which I would like one day .... : http://cjoint.com/?gill7bu6iX And here is the yellow geum. My geum is red but start yellow and keeps a yellow rim on the red petals. I'm really happy about this as I thought I had a yellow and was very dissapointed. Anyhow the leaves are very much like the one on the OP picture. And the flower is indeed like the ronunculus ones - buttercup family - like the geum. http://cjoint.com/?gilmBToGnZ |

From the leaf I'd suggest globeflower (Trollius europaeus) , but it doesn't seem to have quite enough petals. But the centre of the flower suggests it is some member of the buttercup family, so globe flower is probably right. -- Kay |
