Musk Mallow

Malva moschata aka Musk Mallow

These beautiful herbaceous plants are found all around Europe and Southwest Asia. The Musk Mallow can grow up to 60cm tall and are a perennial, meaning they live longer than two years. The leaves and flowers of this plant can be used in a 'wild' salad meaning that its edible.

With symbolic meaning of childishness and immaturity, the flowers remind me of one I would try and draw as a child, with the beautiful heart shaped pink pedals.

I've got beef with the London Plane tree.

NOT because of any fault of the tree, but the are planted all over my local city and they're all male! They cause allergies and the city planted mostly male trees so they're overcomplete releasing pollen into the air! You walk down the street and have a coffee next thing you know your throat and eyes are itchy and there's piece of tree is in your drink!

Respectably, fuck London Plane trees and dis-respectably fuck whoever decided they were a good idea
