My grandmother despises them, they are known as 'widow's flowers' here. Many many years ago..the widows in the area seemed to have less yard work done and the ditches and fields near their houses would be filled with Malva. Grandma said you knew who didn't have a husband by the fields of Malva that surrounded them. Every Malva had to be mowed steadily around her house...we didn't dare let one come in bloom. ~~Tam~ You can bury all your troubles by digging in the dirt.
