I don't know all the different cultivar names, but this one has a nice light pink.

You laughed at my marshmallow response, but it is an actual plant and is also in the Malvaceae family.


And it is very good if you have to relieve inflammation both internal and external, after boiling both flowers and leaves
The violet flowers color the water too.

And since we’re going down this horticultural path, linden trees (Tilia sp.) are also in this family. Their sweet flowers make for great honey, and the wood of the American basswood has good resonant qualities, so it can be used in string instruments. Food and music! :D

The linden flowers have a great and strong scent and they are added to salads to give a sweet taste
I didn't know about the string instruments: ?

Second photo from the flea market stand I found and a sort of quiz - prize a gold star and a bottle of water from a particular region of France* - the next photo tomorrow will give the answer.

What does this magazine cover (the "New Army" in French) from 1942 refer to? Pretty sure as a sharp bunch you will get it. Clue "Here's looking at you kid". ?

*Not really I hardly ever buy bottled water anyway.
