These beautiful Mallows are beginning to bloom now in June. These were growing in the edge of Black Cypress Bayou. They are always found close to water. They grow up to six feet tall and flowers can reach 8 inches across.
These wild mallows are a member of the Malvaceae (mallow) family. They can also be found in the beautiful white with a deep red throat. The best blooming time is August through October. They will grow in gardens, but need plenty of water. They are related to the okra bloom, cotton and other domestic garden varieties of Hibiscus. Very showy and very delicate blooms. It is often called Swamp Mallow, Scarlet Rose-Mallow or Halberd-Leaved Hibiscus.
Give unto the LORD the glory due unto HIS name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.
Psalm 29:2
