    It does look like an Astrantia but if you haven’t got any nearby how has it’s self seeded.
    Astrantias are almost in flower now, has yours got any flower buds? 
    Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.

    Looks like a geum to me, hopefully not G. urbanum!
    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    I agree with Bob, looks like a geum, possibly urbanum, but I hope not.

    I do have geums Borisii and Mrs Bradshaw nearby.
    Is Urbanum bad news then ?

    It's a weed, or wild flower, and seeds itself.
