Common Musk Mallow

If only all weeds were so lovely as this common Ontario Musk Mallow.

This plant also goes by the name Malva moschata L, and like the Malva Sylvestris that I posted a short while ago this plant,too, is a relation of the Hollyhock.

This plant produces pretty pink flowers several times each summer in my garden and like it’s relatives reseeds itself quite well so I doubt I’ll ever be without this plant unless I decide to tear it out of my garden.
