Hi folks! Hope you're enjoying the lovely weather. Any ideas on this fellow? Seems to have a mallow shaped leaf but it's not anything I recognise.

Cheers

    Thanks. I have tree mallows growing in the back garden and it's not like them so I thought it might be a hollyhock or lavatera. Here's a pic of the buds.
