Marsh cranesbill
Geranium palustre can be up to 80 centimeters tall and blooms in Central Europe from June to September. This perennial deciduous plant grows in sunny to shady locations with moist or wet soil and can be found in ditches, meadows, on riverbanks, or in bushes. I discovered the plants shown here on a forest path.
