A Few Members of the Mallow Family

When most people think of the Mallow family – they think of hibicus blossoms. And I do love photographing hibiscuses. I also enjoyed photographing the flowering maple blossoms that I had no idea were members of the Mallow family. But when I looked at them – and thought about their structure and what hibiscus blossoms look like – I could see immediately how they fit into the same family. Here are a few photos of members of the Mallow family that I photographed at Longwood Gardens
