A few years back we discovered some plants growing wild along the roadside and wondered if we could transplant them in our garden at Cape Ray. The next summer and every following summer they flourished and even spread to our neighbours properties. After asking around and looking on the internet we discovered that this Perennial that grew to heights of three feet are called Musk Mallows. They flower from late June to September here and really give the garden a wild look.(Photo: my granddaughter standing by a bed of them) They seem to only come in pink or white but never seem to blend together.Over the years we have dug up quite a few wild flowers while travelling along the highways including lupins,foxgloves and the wild dog roses. none seem to prosper as well as the musk flower. We have found other flowers growing wild and still have not found the proper name for them.
