This is growing wild in shady locations. Look familiar to anyone?    |

| It grows in a low mound like Huechera. |

| Could it be a variety of Geranium? Not sure but I think Cranesbill (Geranium macrorrhizum) is a Utah native. ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! ~ |

| Well, actually that one might not be found in Utah. I found this page listing 3 for Utah but the leaves don't look right on any of them to me: http://extension.usu.edu/range... Geranium (Geranium caespitosum) Sticky Geranium (Geranium viscosissimum) Richardson's Geranium (Geranium richardsonii) Hope someone recognizes it because I'm real curious! ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! ~ |

| Your first choice looks correct. It does get little pink flowers on it. But I don't remember the flowers being as large as in your picture. |

Closer pictures. It's a bit of a vine type growth when it's reaching for more sunlight.     |

| Maybe those vine extensions are runners... have not paid close attention to it because it doesn't seem to be invasive. |

The database says the bloom size is 1-2" for Geranium macrorrhizum so perhaps it's another variety with similar leaves.  ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! ~ |

| Is it running? Looks like a Geranium to me. Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming...."WOW What a Ride!!" -Mark Frost Webmaster: osnnv.org |

| I don't know what it's doing... It's been back there in the corner peeking through Virginia creeper. I just remember thinking it sort of looks like a greenish huechera. I will have to pay closer attention to it. I do remember flowers but perhaps they seemed smaller than they really are because they were far back behind all the bearded Iris. Seems to be a pretty tough plant though. |

| Do Geraniuns run? |

| My geraniums do run but they have thicker brown stems. How about Tiarella cordifolia/creeping foam flower? The last couple of photos look very much like that to me. :+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+: Old gardeners never die. They are just pruned and repotted. |

| It reminds me so much of either a Huechera or foam flower but it's green all year. The deer eat it. I posted more pictures. In the summer some of more mature leaves seem to have a deeper purplish outline in the veins. Included is a picture of the stem      u |

| It's a tough plant. It seems to not go entirely dormant over the winter. It will keep somecsad looking leaves under the heavy snow all winter then spring to life with new growth in the spring. I'm trying to identify it because I want to know if it's toxic to humans or edible? The deer will eat it. |

| Perhaps this: Geranium macrorrhizum, https://garden.org/plants/sear... Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. |

| FYI, some geraniums run (underground), some don't. |
