    Default Weed or plant?

    Hi. Should I get rid of these wee leaves or are they flowers-in-waiting? Many thanks if you can tell me.

    Do you have a geranium near by, looks like the leaves, and they spread like wildfire

    If you like it, then it is a plant.

    If you don't, or if it is in the wrong place, then it is a weed.
    Some people are like Slinkies. They're really good for nothing. But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

    After further investigation, it appears to be geranium, possibly cranesbill. Thanks.

    Yes it definitely is a Cranesbill.
    They seed all over the place and certainly do become a nuisance if not a weed.
    Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain.
