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.
This pretty pink bloom is of a Tiffany Rose. I’ve grown this rose for about four years in my garden and this past summer it did better than it ever did growing taller than it had in the past and produced more blooms. I believe I’d moved it slightly the year before and I think it likes it’s sunnier position a bit better.
Some say this rose has a beautiful scent, but I don’t find that it has much scent at all. Still it’s a beauty and I’m happy to have it take some space in my garden.
I’ve come to think of the Morning Glory Vine as a weed in my garden as it does much too well reseeding itself hundreds of times over. Yet, it’s flowers are lovely.
Morning Glory flowers bloom in the early morning hours and gradually close up and die off by late day. This flower is in the process of dying, but it’s still very pretty and colorful isn’t it?
William Baffin rose.
I took this photo in my garden during a very light rain. The rose is called William Baffin – it’s a very hardy rose and mine happens to be more tree than shrub like as it’s approximately ten feet tall. It’s huge and at the time of the photo it’s first prolific flush of blooms was just ending.
