Pink Musk Mallow....Marvellous....




This lovely plant was a transplant from a neighbour here at home....

This one is growing at the Lake...didn't plant any at home...

To me, it resembles a Hollyhock flower...or even a Rose of Sharon...self-sows, so spread evenly...they can get pretty tall, so I usually have to give them some
support...

Lovely and Pink...:o) 

Enjoy...





So lovely...that I added it to my weekly vase for the sunporch......last weekends was Mallow, Hydrangeas, Day Lilies,and some Hosta flowerettes...I thought it was pretty darn nice...:o)





 A few shots of the beach last weekend.......lovely and calm....
and warm.....and refreshing...ahhhhh
          

                Hope you all have a good day....looks like the heat is making a comeback.........I guess we shouldn't complain....well...looks like I am the one complaining....I know.....I know.....I will stop...tee hee hee..:o)



                                           Cheers!      :o)

  3. I SHOULD be ripping out ivy in mine, but I am not. Instead, a nice glass of wine on the patio makes everything in the garden look soo lovely! haha

  4. I love musk mallow. I used to have it in a garden but took it out as I heard it spreads like crazy. It never came back from the seeds at all! Your pink toenails are pretty. :) The weather here is beautiful too. Best July in a while!

    1. Where I have it, it can spread all it wants!!! Once finished flowering, I usually cut it back, as it takes up a lot of space...I love my pink toes too!!!

  5. That water is looking pretty smooth! You're right about the mallow looking like hollyhocks. I thought it was! Leaves are quite different. I see that now. I gotta find me some pink toe polish! So glam!

  7. love your vase of flowers, when I was out snapping some photos of a daylily this morning I saw a small clump of mallows, don't ever remember planting them there, so perhaps it grew with the help of the wind or a critter
