    These pictures were taken on the Ross/Durrance side of Mount Work, Greater Victoria on June 3, 2017. Rough Location: 48.549189, -123.489621

    The plant was about 30-45cm tall with an equal spread.

    Is this simply Geranium robertianum (Robert's geranium)

    Almost certainly. Did it smell somewhat like sesame seed oil?

    No, I did not smell it. I guess I'll head back there and see what's left.
    Thank you.

    Ah, I should mention -- the smell is from the glands, so even brushing your hand against the foliage will do the trick (i.e., not flowers... I've never smelled the flowers).
