I took this photo the second week of June and blooms were beginning to fade a bit. Anyone know the scientific name? Thanks in advance for your input!

Looks like Geranium maculatum, native to the Eastern U.S.

Actually, the more I look at it, the more I think it is Bicknell's Cranesbill (G. bicknellii) based on the notched petals. It is an annual/biennial native to the northeast and Midwest.

Here is a link that might be useful: Bicknell's Cranesbill
