Would appreciate any species identification you can provide for any of these. I would have liked to post four photos as I have split my pics into four groups: flowers, trees, small flowers/weeds, grasses/bushes/shrubs.
Will likely post the other three images over time but I don't want to flood the forum all in one go.
I usually take photos like these when out walking as I like to pay attention to what's happening in different locations/different seasons. These photos are from a recent trip abroad - not used to finding such a variety of colour. My pics are usually of different leaves, buds, catkins and twigs - all browns, reds and greens.
I often wonder whether/what people in days gone by used the local plantlife for. Would like to increase my knowledge on this as a casual project over time. Seemingly unremarkable weeds that we see all the time and fail to consider, might have been sought after commodities in pre-historic, ancient or medieval times.
I think it was when first reading about gruit that I started to look differently upon previously overlooked verges at the side of a road etc. From there the rabbit hole deepens...
I think bottom right is a wild geranium, not sure of the species but that might be a place to start.
Thank you. Following your lead it looks to be a Geranium Nodosum but I need to dig a little deeper to find a closer match than the top 5+ most common variants that I'm currently finding. Quite a few Nodosums have petals that appear wider overall, and more crenated.
I'll try out the various apps suggested here as I imagine their lists of varieties will be more extensive.
