North Maine zone 5a. Planted a bunch of flower seeds in this area but there's only two of these and they're small. Some of the apps say hollyhock, some say Anoda, one said bindweed, one said hibiscus.

  1. It’s a stunted Lavatera trimestris, surprised it even flowered in the middle of a lawn…

    It’s rose mallow. Which is a part of the same genus as hibiscus, so that’s an understandable mistake

  3. Based on the leaves and location, these are hollyhock. Check on how the seed pods develop in a couple weeks to confirm.

    Flora Incognita is pretty sure this is Royal mallow (malva trimestris). I do think the mallow is right because the leaves look like the common mallow that lives in my yard.
