Can I get an ID please? I know it’s a weed but I love the pretty flowers so I let it grow in a certain spot by my porch. Honeybees love it too. I’m in the willamette valley, Oregon.

Thank you! I think so too! I wish i could remember all this, I had no idea I had such a fun and medicinal plant growing. It really pays to not pull “weeds” :)

It is a Common Mallow

### ki commented on 2025-05-06

i agree with everyone else in the comment section. it looks like malva sylvestris, which is a species of mallow
