Wildflower Wednesday - Country Mallow & others


The country mallow (abutilon indicum) has silky soft heart shaped pointed leaves and is a food plant for the caterpillar of the Danaid Eggfly butterfly.


Here are some others that i have not identified yet.



















For many more beautiful wildflowers, visit clay and limestone.

I remember these flowers were part of my life in our villages, in good old days. Nostalgic.
