User's notes

A sprawling plant with leaves a similar shape to an ivy geranium, with 5 points. The little balls are a mix of flower buds, flowers, & possibly, pods after the flowers have withered. The insignificant white flowers can be seen, in photo 1, on a ball on the far LHS at the top corner. It is common locally as is the silver mottling on the leaves, I suspect due to leaf miners.
