Look: one of Australia's most endangered plants, Geranium species 1 growing in a grassland I manage - we planted several hundred, later burnt the area, and now there are dozens of new germinants popping up in the bared soil. They have a larger and more strongly coloured flower than most of the other native Geranium species.
