A much closer look at pavonia mallow

Click for greater clarity.

Here’s another look at one of the wildflowers you saw last time, Pavonia lasiopetala, which people call rose mallow, rose pavonia, and pavonia mallow. I had this close encounter of the photographic kind in Great Hills Park on October 20.

If you’d like to step back a bit and see a whole pavonia mallow flower, you’re welcome to visit a post from 2012.
