Flora Friday Mystery Plant

Dear Plant Detectives:  Can you identify this plant?  I found it at a plant sale with no tag – just these pretty little woodland flowers about the size of a loonie.

    Makes me think of Geum, but I don’t know what variety. Sure is cute though.

    Kat – Thanks! It sure looks like Geum.

    Maybe Geum Rivale?

    @Garden_Therapy in agreement with @katwhitedesigns thinking that is a Geum.

    @Garden_Therapy It’s weird, it looks like a Columbine and an Alpine Strawberry had a baby… #florafriday

    That is a nice looking plant! I think I grew one of these at our last house. Can’t recall the name but it does look like a Geum of some kind.

    Yes, Geum is what I’m thinking too. Love the color, enjoy!

    I think it’s a Columbine, but some flowers look so similar. I’m not so familiar with Geum.
