  • Question

    Trying to identify this plant that has popped up in various places in my yard. It has a crown like strawberries do, if that makes sense. I’m completely new to gardening/plants!

    Answer

    Dear marcell, good morning. I can't tell you which species you have observed. I would need flowers and your location to do so. Locality information is really important as it helps to narrow down the choices because many plants grow is specific parts of the world. As best I can tell, the leaves might belong to a Geranium (crane's-bill) or a member of the crane's-bill family. Good luck with your mystery.
