Is this Mallow?

[Babysmallz93]

I found this growing in my yard. I live in North Carolina. From what I could find online, it looks to me like it could be Mallow. What do you think?

Ran the photo through an app for you, this is what came back

Obviously I can’t say with 100% certainty because I don’t trust myself with plant indemnification, but it does appear that it is mallow

No, not mallow

 

[Babysmallz93]

No, not mallow

Thanks. Do you know what it is or if it's safe for my tort?

No problem! According to Yvonne the app might not have been right after all though.. curse technology lol!

I got Carolina mallow as well.

The Carolina mallow in images definitely looks different from our "common" mallow and not quite like its larger hibiscus relatives either so I'm not comfortable to say with certainty.

I'd wait for it to flower if you want to be very sure. The flower is a peachy/salmon color and easily spotted as a mallow. Shouldn't take long for it to flower or you may find some that already have.

Yes definitely worth waiting

I got garlic mustard from Google.

I thought a brassica when I first saw it as well. But it definitely looks like the identified mallow. If it's garlic mustard then we'll see a white flower eventually! We don't have that plant here so I've not seen it either.

Thank you for all for your very helpful advice. I will be waiting for them to flower. Then we shall see.
