The Redstem Storksbill is found all over the world and very plentiful in the Pacific Northwest. The stem of the flower is red as the name suggests. There are usually one or two flowers on each stem, each with five petals and five greenish sepals. The petals often show darker color veins, and each has ten stamens.
