The
Rose Mallow
Right
by our front gate we have a little bush that keeps on growing . It
doesn't get very big. It doesn't change much during the change of
seasons but what it does have are neat little pink flowers about 1
inch across.The flowers start blooming about May and continue right
through to Fall. They open early in the morning but close if it gets
really hot. Then they open again in the evening.Very sensible little
flowers.
They
make little seeds in the Fall. These grow naturally here and I had
another little bush that grew under the trees but didn't get so many
flowers probably because it doesn't get much sun.That figures!
A
couple of years ago in the fall I took the little seeds and planted
them out of the edge of the wooded area where they would get some sun
and to my surprise about 6 of them actually grew and now I have
another 6 bushes which also have the promise of little points of pink
in our sun-baked garden.
Cheers
for the rose mallow.
I would love to produce a rose plant that way from seed,you must
ReplyDeletehave known the best place to bring on 5 of them.
I can't imagine being sun baked, June here is still giving us low
temperature and lots of rain! the grass grows overnight.
enjoy your weather and the little roses.
