the grass is always greener ....

seemed an apt title when I am showing a picture from someone else's garden today, namely a Mallow plant which is closely related to the Hollyhock plant, I didn't actually know this but you can see how similar the flowers are, this bush had at least a height and spread of about 12 feet so was pretty big as you can imagine ... take care ... :)

Mallow – Malva spp. Looking like a miniature hollyhock, malva produces pretty flower spikes in blue, pink, purple, or white. It also has attractive heart-shape foliage and is useful among shrubs, in wild gardens, and in mixed borders. These short-lived plants self-seed but generally do not become invasive. Staking may be required in windy places. Mallows are not fussy about soil, but they do need full sun to do well.
