Identify this flower please

I planted this from a pot I had which I think I grew from seed last year. Can't for the life of me think what it is. Probably an easy one.. sorry!

    Looks like a mallow, possibly Lavatera

  • Its not Lavatera as we already have one plus its not a shrub. Could be a mallow although I think the foliage is different. And no scent that I can really discern Ladyann!

    Lavatera has more than one species and some are annuals. I'm sure it's that family, can we see the leaves pleaseimage

    Lavatera moschata alba I think.

    Is that the same as Malva moschata alba?

    Malva moschata alba is what I meant to put. Sometimes fingers do their own thing!

  • Malva moschata alba could be right. Here is the foliage:
