    While collecting seeds at my mother-in-law's house, I came across this plant. She can not remember the name of it. I love it and it has tons of seeds on it. It's about 4 feet tall x 2 feet wide. Anyone have any idea what it is? Thanks bunches!!!! :stew1:

    It looks like it may be a galphimia

    Not India Mallow

    Reading your post, I thought "India Mallow"? No, of course not. They are a southwestern plant and wouldn't be growing in your part of the country. They are one of my favorite plants. Lovely, soft, gray-green heart-shaped leaves with beautiful yellow flowers on it. Mallows are a stable of a southwestern native plant garden and I also have some of the apricot colored ones too!
