Herb Robert

Geranium robertianum. This little Crane's Bill has lots of other country names including Red Robin and, weirdly, Death Come Quickly! Apparently it is named after a medieval French monk who used it in many of his herbal remedies.

If you crush the leaves they have a strong smell - a bit like burning tyres. If you then rub the leaves on your skin it is supposed to deter mosquitos. ..
