Flower or weed

[Derek Lax]

Hello all

This is my first post and it's an identification question. Can you tell me if the attached picture shows a flower or a weed leaf system.

I'm a complete novice at this, my wife was the green fingered but she sadly passed away last year. So now I'm in charge but don't know my weeds from my elbow.

So if you could identify this plant as friend (flower) or foe (weed) I'd be grateful.

Thanks Derek

Looks like wood geranium.

Can be a flower or a weed depending on your point of view. A weed is simply a plant where you don't want it.

They spread like weeds in my yard but I mostly leave them alone since I'm going for an informal look anyway.

Could be a bleeding heart or other Dicentra species. I'd let it grow. Flower buds will probably be appearing fairly soon.

I agree may be a bleeding heart. White or red will take some time. Good plant.
