We awhile ago I had asked your help in IDing a flower I had growing down by our barn. It looked like a hollyhock but the leaf was deeply cut and so different than the other hollyhocks growing there. Mallow was suggested and when I looked it up online it sure looked like that was what it was. Well now it's flowering and really has me stumped. Because the flowers look like a Hollyhock. So here are some pic's of it. Maybe it's a Mallhock or a Hollylow. Looks like a Hollyhock flower. ( photo / image / picture from Tooty2shoes's Garden ) But the leaf is very strange for a hollyhock.

Are you sure? don't you think this kind of looks like the plant that hablopicasso just posted a question about in houston? No really, it does look like a holly hock.
Hi Tooty-- I have hollyhocks in my garden with leaves similar to this and flowers like this. I believe that the flowering plant that you featured is indeed a hollyhock.
Thanks all: Glad to hear that others have these strange leaved Hollyhocks? I really like the leaves and will definitely be enjoying it. Carolyn I will have to check that other post out. I think I will call it a Hollylow :-D I will definitely be saving some of those seeds.
It will be interesting to see if the seeds grow this same oddball :-o I noticed some of mine have weird leaves but nothing like that!
Yes it will be. I hate having to wait a whole year. Maybe I will try growing some of the seeds in the house after they have spent sometime in my refrige to fool them. :-D Yes those leaves are really strange. Plus they are huge. I'll have to get some measurements on them.
