Half a century ago, Belgian Zoologist Bernard Heuvelmans first codified cryptozoology in his book On the Track of Unknown Animals.
The Centre for Fortean Zoology (CFZ) are still on the track, and have been since 1992. But as if chasing unknown animals wasn't enough, we are involved in education, conservation, and good old-fashioned natural history! We already have three journals, the largest cryptozoological publishing house in the world, CFZtv, and the largest cryptozoological conference in the English-speaking world, but in January 2009 someone suggested that we started a daily online magazine! The CFZ bloggo is a collaborative effort by a coalition of members, friends, and supporters of the CFZ, and covers all the subjects with which we deal, with a smattering of music, high strangeness and surreal humour to make up the mix.
Unlike some of our competitors we are not going to try and blackmail you into donating by saying that we won't continue if you don't. That would just be vulgar, but our lives, and those of the animals which we look after, would be a damn sight easier if we receive more donations to our fighting fund. Donate via Paypal today...
If my mother or grandmother were still alive (bless 'em) there would be absolutely no need to write this blog post, because there would be absolutely no need to ask the question. They would have both known the answer immediately, and would have both chided me unmercifully for my ignorance.

I don't know what the plant in the bottom photo is, but the one in the top photo is a Geranium.
I have two of these growing in my rockery. They are cultivated varieties of Geranium maculatum, the wild Geranium native to north America. Colours range from pinky / white to deep purple/blue
Yours are possibly escapees from gardens, that have turned feral.
