I know everyone in the world considers it a weed, but I have a soft spot for Globe Mallow. I mean, the flowers are adorable, right?
Yes, very cute!

About Me
Hi! My name is Liza. Welcome to my blog and thanks for visiting! I'm a Midwestern gal now living in Arizona, after many years of living in and owning a plant care business in New Mexico.
Plants are living, breathing creatures, and if they're indoor plants, they are 100% dependent on human care. They cannot water themselves.
I can beautify your home, office, or patio with plants and flowers. I have 13 years of experience growing plants, and friendships.
Please let me know if you have questions or if you would like help with your plants or garden. You can reach me at lizatheplantlady (at) gmail (dot) com or follow me on Twitter, Lizawheeler7.
All photos are mine unless otherwise noted. All content is also entirely my hard work. If you'd like to use any content or photos, all you have to do is ask. If you take without asking, you are a thief. And thieves suck. So don't suck. We have a deal? Good.

NOT weeds to me! I planted them in my back garden and the bloom all spring/summer! Perfect for Phoenix!

My lot includes a vacant corner lot. Most years it is mostly dirt/sand with a few struggling plants. But the Globe Mallow always comes up. When/if I mow, I always mow around it.
I never knew what it was, just that I like it. Your picture helped me identify Globe Mallow. Thank you!
