One hundred and seventy four - a photo on Flickriver

My mistake, its a return of the Musk Mallow, though last year's plant was tiny compared to this monster, which stands at 18 inches tall.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Musk mallow has pretty pink flowers that can be seen along roadside verges, hedgerows and field margins in summer. It lives up to its name, producing a delicate, musky smell that increases indoors.

An elegant relative of Common mallow, Musk mallow has delicate pale pink flowers that appear in July and August. It grows on roadside verges and field edges, and in hedgerows, pastures and churchyards. It favours dry places and is a popular cottage garden plant.

The saucer-shaped flowers of Musk mallow and have a musky smell, hence the common name. They have five petals, which are pale pink with fine, dark pink veins. The stems and deeply lobed leaves are hairy.

If you live in a dry, sunny corner of the country, try planting Musk mallow alongside Marjoram, Field scabious, Cornflower and Greater knapweed, and enjoy the buzz and hum of insects visiting your miniature wildflower meadow.
