Herb-robert (Geranium robertianum), also known as Stinky Bob is an invasive
plant with a distinctive smell and purple flowers. On the right of the photo
is a native species - Oregon grape. Don't confuse this plant with English holly!
One way to tell them apart is that Oregon grape has opposite leaflets while
holly has alternate leaves. Photo by Steve K. Marl.
