The Common Mallow (Malva sylvestris) is a perennial native wild-flower. The flowers have darker stripes that act as nectar guides for visiting bees.
There are two on the plot which are covered in flowers as you can see on my new header picture and in this one

Really lovely. A plant I would choose if I had an allotment. Interesting link for Malva. I’d eat the fruits if they taste like peanuts! x

If I remember I’ll try them and let you know what they’re like! xx
