MUSK MALLOW

The end of each of the five pink petals of Musk Mallow look as if they have been chewed.  
In the centre of the flower is a bunch of prominent stamens.  


Although the leaves at ground level are round, along the stems they are divided like a water plant, and quite unlike common mallow, though the flowers are similar.


A beautiful addition to the wildflowers in my garden.  Don't know how it got here;  I just stopped mowing.

DON'T FORGET THE BIG BUTTERFLY COUNT
