When you get to garden only a few short weeks in summer you learn to take advantage of the native flowering plants - heather, clover, dandelion, the little blue unnamed weed above and my favorite the Mallow plant which blooms in white and a pale pinkish lavender. I carefully mow around and leave the 'sport' to flourish and seed and if all goes well a few carefully transplanted mallows will take and eventually instead of a spotted lawn I am gradually getting a lovely grouping in the center front yard - the daisys I spare down the lane until they go too bedraggled and then down they go till the following year. So far the Mallows continue to live throughout the summer without fear of the awesome power mower.
