Yes, I agree with Musk Mallow. One of my favourites - I haven't seen it yet this year, but then I think it only just starts to flower about now. I've been seeing plenty of Common Mallow, which starts flowering about a month earlier I believe. |

Hi Pete,
Like your Self Heal, there is also a white form of Musk Mallow! |

I semed to be going through a spell of finding 'white forms' of plants, as it was about the same time that I found the white Self-heal (speaking of which, I've just found some of the normal coloured Self-heal in the garden!) |

I've just seen pink and white forms growing together by the side of the road - will get photo later. |

I went for a very long walk today (all around where Beds, Bucks and Herts meet). Saw Common Mallow in several places, but still no luck in seeing Musk Mallow yet. But I hope to see it soon - I hope to do a walk in a few days that will take me past a hamlet called Sewell where I first saw Musk Mallow two years ago, just a few days after I got interested in wildflowers. I saw it there again last year (there was some Purple Toadflax nearby, too). |

Just to say I did see the Musk Mallow when I did my walk, near Sewell where I've seen it the last couple of years. And then I saw much more of it near Redbourn, Herts., on a walk I did on Tuesday. |

its musk mallow. I found the white form of musk mallow growing next to the road.
I got excited because I thought I had found marsh mallow in Lancashire!  | | |
