Raymone's Plant du Jour

Pavonia lasiopetala. Hi there. I'm another one of the several Malvaceae that stay at the CB. However, unlike most of my cousins, the deer do browse me a lot. Also, if I find myself in an area of poor air circulation, I get powdery mildew on me and look plumb terrible. Normally, I would be inhabiting juniper/oak woodland and brush generally west of these parts, especially on old limestones. However, I am widely available now days in the nursery trade, as both my seeds and cuttings cooperate with the growers. At the CB I volunteer a lot, but since I'm out of habitat, lots of my offspring spring up in inappropriate situations and have to be relocated for their own good. Mercy and Praise the Goddess.
