Description of specimen

Geranium robertianum.

Commentary

Hi Virginia,

Thanks so much for reporting stinky bob! I will forward your report to the Army Corps of Engineers in case they are not already aware of this infestation. Please keep in mind that due to limited funding, it is possible that this population will not be controlled right away. You can help by keeping it off your property, or organizing a work party in your community.

Thanks!
