it also looks a little like geranium leaf too.
When you take a picture of a plant, it would be helpful if you took a picture of the whole
plant in situ would be even better. Gives a clearer idea of what it could be.

the whole plant looked the same sandy but i will bear that in mind.
the problem is the garden is a jungle and i am using a phone cam so it ewouldnyt be easy to see the plant
