It looks a bit like a geranium to me TT, but I'm probably miles off :)

Hi Donnaj...
Thanks for that suggestion ...
I took this pic a few days ago ...
it now has more buds appearing on the stem...
I'll try to add another pic ...

I also think its a hardy geranium but hard to tell which one from the picture

Thanks Inverglen...
I've added another photo... very difficult to get pics as the flower is growing under a lot of other shrubs...

The top pic is the new one ...
You can see the leaf shapes better, and also more buds on the left of the white flowers...

I think its a Geranium too - I'm off to see if I can work out which one...
Isn't it just G. sanguinam 'Album'?

Hi Bamboo...
I've added a third pic.. (the lowest photo)
shows the flower petals a bit better...

Unfortunately, the label by the plant belongs to tulips...
Lol...

G. sanguinam 'Album' is my best guess

Thank you :o)))

Could it be the white Musk Mallow TT?

Hi Dido...
Since I put the final photo on, I've been wondering that...
... I think Hollyeves sent me some Mallow seed last year....

Maybe I should ask her to look at the photos..Lol.

We'll get there in the end TT but it sounds good to me!! lol

I've just sent Holly a message..Lol.

I'd say Malva moschata alba. Lovely plant!

Thanks Beattie ..
I've googled that and the flowers/leaves look similar..
I hope Holly adds a comment too.. :o)

It does look like it - but how come its so tiny?

Don't know why so tiny ...
... but garden had severe drought during early summer ..

I did my best to water everything, but Verbena bonariensis has also only just appeared nearby to this, now that the rains have come this past week.

I only wondered cos my pink one's been out in flower for 4 weeks - its shorter than usual though, only about a foot to 18 inches.

You had drought too, didn't you Bamboo...
could mean that the result of so many dry weeks is somewhat stunted growth ?

I imagine that's the cause, yes - I watered every 6 days with a sprinkler, but there's no substitute for good rainfall after a few weeks without, is there.

My front garden is looking happier than it has done for almost 3 months ... just because it has received proper rain, rather than me with my watering cans ...

... I agree... no substitute for good rainfall ...

HI TT... yes they look like the Mallow seeds i sent you....the leaves are the same. and flowers.... : O ))

Thanks Holly.. such pretty flowers...
I really like them... :o)))

glad they have grown ok...... : O )))

I'm not usually successful with seeds, so well done you, Holly, on supplying excellent quality.. :o)

LOL..... they should come back next year as well... : O )

That's good news...
come back from the plants ...
or from self-seeding ?
.. or from both ?

Both... mine come back and they self seed.. : O )

Thanks.. best news I've heard today ;o)

O : ))

I think its geranium sanguinium album and I would like to know how you get it to flower. My pink ones flower thier hearts out and the white one never even tries.
