This one is early or late. It normally flowers in Spring.

Geranium robertianum, (syn. Robertiella robertiana), commonly known as Herb-Robert, Red Robin, Death come quickly, Storksbill, Dove's Foot, Crow's Foot

'Death come quickly' is an interesting name. Today's proper grammar would demand it to be 'Death comes quickly'. Maybe it is a result of traditional names being at ease with grammar or it is a result of old grammar being used. But then it would go like 'Death cometh quickly'. Or maybe the meaning is 'Death, come quickly!'? Or not :)
And now I am pondering the grammar I used in this post :D

It is a magical plant... it has all sorts of effects on people. ;-)

:D :D

@leoplaw & @photo-deja-vu - Mystery of "Death, come quickly" & "Death comes quickly" is as follows :) - It is derived from a story of theft of a (fictional) painting of a woman with this flower, by a (real) Mexican artist, María Izquierdo. Chapter Six: The painting was titled "DEATH COME QUICKLY" .
