Wildflowers of Ainsworth: Herb Robert
(Click on image to enlarge)
Actually I'm not 100% sure that's Herb Robert, but it's the closest match I could find in Newcomb's Wildflower Guide.
Herb Robert is a species of wild geranium. This one was growing on a damp and slippery slope in Deep River County Park. I found out how slippery a few minutes after I took this photo.
No one knows for sure how it got that name. As usual, it has others. My favorite is "old maid's nightcap."
