Musk Mallow

Malva moschata

Once again a local shot as I felt incapable of going far.  Besides, I thought it was time I caught up with WildflowerWeek, so will be looking at all entries for WFW03 and have added mine today for WFW04.

This is musk mallow.  It likes grassy places, of which there are plenty round here.  One of the bigger and more noticable wildflowers at the moment, I think it is also one of my favourites.

Early night for me I think tonight.  Enjoy yours  xx
