A Year in the Valley

This wasn’t in flower but has been flourishing on our ramp amongst the turf, which has now recovered after the dry September.  Probably, also because we aren’t walking up and down as much.  The leaves of this low-growing flower are deeply cut into 5 to 7 lobes, and each lobe has 3 smaller lobes.  This makes them noticeably different from the straggly leaves of the cut-leaved crane’s-bill.   It will have little pale lilac flowers next summer if we look after it.
