Mallow Flowers - Lavatera

Mallow Flowers - Lavatera

lavatera's pink flowers, or also known as "mallow". In our front garden patio area.

Believe this is a different variety than we've had before, will check the tag and enter the name later. We had "Silver Cup" lavateras before, and do have some of those this summer also, - but the petals look slightly different to these, and they are a paler pink than these. Love the lines or appearance of ridges in the petals of these flowers.

this is the most comments I've had for ages, Susan, many thanks :) These were very pretty, but for some reason they didn't seem to last very long this summer.

I love these Mallow flowers and had not seen any since my fall a couple of years ago. Ted used to take me for a drive past a meadow where the blossoms seemed to float above the stems - as we came toward them. And now I have seen them again - close up. Thank you.
