An Introduced geranium vs a native geranium. Iโve only seen these two in our yard so far but there are several other species in Oklahoma.

Native species but no thanks
Stickers/sandburs/goatheads are native but they hurt.. They like sand. if we had a bigger land I would leave them alone outside our paths and main dog area as Iโm sure something needs them. Iโm not keeping them in our small space.
