Well, I still think you've got mallows <g> They are natives to most states. Some varieties come with fuzzy leaves. Some get as tall as 6' and some aren't more than ankle high. They come in all kinds of pastels and vibrant colors.

Here's a link to a pink tree mallow (about half way down the page). http://www.twowests.co.uk/weblog/archives/2006/07/shades_of_pink.html

And, although this site is about butterflies, it has a picture of one of the fuzzy leaved types (the bright orange one).

Although, in theory, they only have 5 petals, we had two "volunteers" that were multi-petaled. One was a lavendar/pink and the other was a chicory blue.

I looked at the pics, and no, it is not campion...I heard that a lady
down the road has some in her backyard, so what I found was probably an
escapee. When I find out what it is, I'll post..
