| Identification | Stork's-bill flowers are pink and look like little geraniums; they also have long, gradually tapered beaks on the fruits, but these are even longer than in geraniums. Leaves are not palmately divided but are pinnately divided, so as to resemble leaves of a milfoil (genus Achillea). | |
