Nature Wildflower?

Wildflower? · **1 Like**

Found a handful of these while weed-eating the ditch by the road in front of our house. Went back later, clipped a stem, put it in a small vase of water and took it's picture. I have no idea what it is.

Good focus on subject area and great background bokeh

I believe this is a Sidalcea sp. in the mallow family. Likely either S. hendersonii or S. oregana. Beautiful shot of a beautiiful plant.

Mallows are great plants, take care of them. Mostly that's leaving them alone and keeping invasive species out. You should see some native bees on those flowers.

Thanks for the info and your kind words.

I left them alone in hopes that they'll spread. They have their work cut out for them though. Lots of weeds and grasses to compete with.
