I looked (gain ) in both species, but they are not (to different petals, colour, lining on petals and leaves). The I found an article which describes M. sylvestris as creeping... so I stick to that. Not that I am fully convinced so it will be Malva cf. sylvestris. Cf. meaning "i think it could be..."

By the way, this is the article if you are curious: https://cronodon.com/NatureTec...

and a few acorns for you both, although you, as i, am probably drowning in them.

Even wikipedia says M. sylvestris can be grow 3-4' tall or it can be decumbent, and in some places, it's called 'Creeping Charlie' (they do point out that that's also a nickname for other plants, more usually for Glechoma hederacea). If I'd realized M. sylvestris could also be a crawler, it would've been my first guess.

for the acorns...I'm sure I'll pass them back to you at some point!
