Pictures
of Wild Geranium, a.k.a. Spotted Geranium, a.k.a. Cranesbill Root (Geranium maculatum)
Wild
Geranium root (also known as Cranesbill Root) is a tannin-rich (10 - 20
percent) herb. It is highly astringent and styptic.
Root
juice or strong root tea was once used for canker sores and to stop the
bleeding or weeping of wounds. The plant transplants very well to
gardens
and is a great herb to grow in part shady east or north areas.
What
kinds of areas can Wild Geranium be found in?
It loves the rich soil of wooded areas but does need part
sun. So, where ever the woods break a bit, or on the boarders
of rich wooded areas, you will find this flower.
If the sunshine is too sparse it will only produce a few
flowers.
Are you
harvesting (a.k.a wildcrafting)? Although the
root is the primary thing to harvest, in emergency, the whole, fresh
leaves were
used on bleeding wounds.

Wild Geranium grows in clumps just as you see it here.
Here is
a close up of the leaves to better help you identify the herb in the
woods.
I also
wanted to show you a close up of the flowers.
Would you like to use my pictures?
I have a solution that would be wonderful for both of us. You
are free to right click and copy my photographs. I ask that
you give a visible link back to this page in the same location as the
picture. Once it is set up on your website send me a note and
I'll put a link to your page, on the picture page - as someone legally
using my photos. This would give both of us reciprocal links,
which search engines love.
Here's what I require:
* Right click and copy the image to your own computer.
When you are loading it on your page upload the picture to
your own server. In other words - please do not use the link
location thereby using my bandwidth.
* Do not edit the picture in any way - except for size,
always keep the aspect ratio. Please leave my copyright
information on the image. All my images are formated to be
under 100 kb.
* Your site must not contain offensive material and must
somehow be related to herbs.
* If you are using this in written material I will require
seeing a copy of the material (with the placement of the picture)
before I give my approval. We can exchange mailing
information along with copyright use / sale via eMail.
