Eliza Waters 
How stunning, Eliza 💜
Thank you, Jane!
An awesome capture.
Happy Sunday.
Thank you, Rupali!
Lovely colour!!!
Thank you, Maria. Quite vibrant!
A beautiful blossom that is perfectly named. 😊
Thank you, Pepper. It is a pretty one. 🙂
Ooh, purple zebra’s. I love them 🤣❤️🙏
🙂 Thanks, Mark.
Lovely! So 3-D, I feel I could touch it
Thank you, Allison. It is very vibrant with those darker stripes. 🙂
Such a pretty Mallow Eliza! 🩷 xxx
Thank you, Xenia. I allowed two plants to grow this year and the beetles seem to have left it alone. 🙂 👍🏼
I haven’t seen a mallow in years… so good to see this one, Eliza…
Thank you, J&A. It is very prolific and I will probably regret it next spring when 1001 seeds sprout from it, ha!
I’ve seen wild mallow, but not as colorful as this!
This one is a passalong, an indication that it is prolific, ha! 😉
Yay!
Now that’s a beauty!
Thanks, though I wish it wasn’t such a persistent self-sower!
perfectly polleny for pollinators with peek-a-boo petals …very pretty stripes…an attractive one for Hummingbird moths
perfectly polleny for pollinators with peek-a-boo petals. A good flower to attract Hummingbirds moths
It is popular with bees esp., but beetles do like to munch them, too!
How beautiful, I never seen this flower before.
Thank you, Laura. Not native, but it is one of the most striking of the smaller mallows.
We have wild mallow (which we call common mallow Malva sylvestris) around here – must be the ancestor of your cultivar. Lovely shot!
Thank you, Adele. From what I read, it is a European native, so that makes sense.
Beautifully photographed, Eliza 🙂
Thank you, Anne. 🙂
I agree that you got a beautiful shot of the flower.
Thank you!
Stunningly beautiful!
Thank you, Tiffany!
So pretty! I keep thinking about being able to plant pretty things if the house purchase actually happens!
Thanks, K. WHEN 😉 it happens, you’re welcome to divisions in my garden… I have loads!
Maybe I’ll take you up on that some day!
👍🏼
Such vivid colours
Yes, frequently I use it in arrangements, a good cut flower.
The striping brought to mind one of our native Oxalis species. They’re clearly not related, but this visually similar beauty is even more appealing.
Thank you, Linda. It is a pretty one, but self-sows a lot, so I can see how it has escaped cultivation. I pull tons of seedlings out of my garden every spring, but one or two always persist. I think the seeds may remain viable for years, like many weeds, just waiting for the right conditions to grow.
Fantabulous 💖🤗💖🙌🏼
🙂 Thanks, Susan!
Beautiful! ❣️
Thank you, Cathy!
Really lovely 😊
Thank you, Belinda!
Wow! Isn’t she gorgeous! 😀
Thanks! 🙂
I’ve always liked that Malva, although I don’t think it grows well here. As I recall, it did well in Alaska!
Thanks, Kris. It is very tenacious, I’ve tried to rid myself of it for years, but it keeps coming back, a seedling here and there. I can imagine it surviving in Alaska!
What an exquisite color! Breathtaking photo! Wow!
Thank you, Barbara! 🙂
Such a pretty bloom. Love the color.
Thank you, Monika. A little jewel!
Stunning bloom! Gorgeous.
Thank you, Judy!
This sure is pretty, Eliza. I love the little stripes and dazzling pink.
Thank you, Caroline. One of our best and productive native plants. 🙂
Thank you, Caroline. Not a native, oops, but very prolific!
Stunning!
Thank you, Alys!
Both the flowers and the photograph are beautiful!
Thank you, Denise!
A lovely close-up of a shapely flower with beautiful stripes on the petals and such a deep colour.
Thank you, Carol. It is rather attractive, but it self-sows like crazy, too abundantly for me!
