Poor pink mallow. I've been chopping it off almost everywhere in my gardens. I know many people consider it a weed and won't allow it anyplace in their garden. Personally I like it and find that removing the zillions of babies each year is preferable to eliminating it altogether.
I think even those who raise their haughty eyebrows to the lowly mallow would agree that she looks quite splendid here.
I love mallow! Such a pretty pink. I want to plant some on my band one of these days...when I can find the time! I like those shoes Zoey. I'm going to have to look for a pair. I like the sound of the winter ones too...for early mornings when the grass is wet...I hate it when my shoes get wet and squishy!
I appreciate you taking the time and effort to leave a comment. I will try to answer any questions you have. Please note due to Blogger changing word verification so almost nobody can read it, I have had to change to no word verification and only allow registered users to comment.
I am so glad you stopped by to visit my garden. I garden in lower northern Michigan (zone 5) in far less than ideal conditions. I have too many pine trees, too much shade, too many rocks, herds of hosta-munching deer and rabbits who think my lilly buds are gourmet appetizers. I am by no means an expert in horticulture or garden design--just an amateur with a shovel and a passion. My garden changes daily during the summer and I will be updating frequently.
During the winter months, I blog about my favorite cold-weather hobby--quilting and just my everyday musings.
I hope you enjoy your visit, and that you will come back soon.
