With a common name of \u201cMorning Widow,\u201d I expected my clone of this plant to have dark, depressing flowers. However, whichever clone it is, the flowers are a nice purple shade. The plant is impressively floriferous, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t remember where I got this plant. I think I\u2019ve had it about ten years. It is planted amid its cousin, Geranium macrorrhizum, so I don\u2019t even notice it until it soars above the shorter cranes bill with its flower spikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
