The flowers

The seeds were a gift, I thought it must be an improved variety of Malva but.. :evil:

Farhan is going to help me in this regards by his spring 2014 project.

You are not growing this because of its small flower? If this is the case I also do not like plants that have flowers smaller than its leaves.

There are thousands of flowers All very attractive but alas I don't have enough space so I have to be very, very selective. Most of my annuals have small flowers, it is the over all impact of the plant in the garden which matters to me.

I would rather give its space to some one much more attractive. ;)

:-). So now you know its not attractive and you can safely strike it out from your list of plants to be grown.
