Terrestrial plant id

[Andy265]

Hi all i have a journal going 6ft Shallow "ish" tank that i have just added this post to but thought it maybe an idea to drop it here too, hopefully someone can help.

Have been just watching the tank settle only livestock additions have been 10 ramshorn snails and 6 amano shrimp, mainly monitoring my emersed growth stuff to ensure that it is settling and all seems well, the pothos and peace lily have developed new roots and the fern is not showing any growth signs but is also not showing that it is doing poorly.
I found whilst out and about the red stalked plant that was growing on a wall, it has a small rhysome and it looked so nice i decided to stick it the upright wood trimming any stalks that were in the water and i intend to water with a spray bottle and the moisture naturally sucked up by the wood. It was only whilst stepped back admiring my handiwork when my wife asked what plant it was, my reply "i dont know but looks nice tho" to which she replied "how do you know it isn't poisonous" very good point !

Any plant gurus out there that have an id for me ? It is planted in a way as it is not in direct contact with the water but would be wise to know what it is.

Geranium robertianum maybe?

Geranium robertianum maybe?

Looking at some google images looks like you could be right, will have to see if it develops any flowers

What a wonderful idea. I love geraniums and this is the first one I have seen above an aquarium. The flowers will be epic. I will be watching for updates. Would be cool if it was Geranium sanguinium, but I think Herb Robert is more likely. And can I also say that I love your wallpaper.

As a bit of an experiment my wife picked up some wild flower seeds for the garden, so decided to drill holes in the exposed tree stump and drop and few seeds in and push the saw dust on top, the stump wicks water up inside so will see what happens.

Hi there,
I agree with the above posts, it does look like herb robert. You may find any new growth is more green rather than red though, due to the extra moisture available.
