Just glad I could get you steered in the right direction!
Sof
Then I will add that info until someone says otherwise. Thanks a lot! :D

I would say good possibility! Malva is a huge family, but that looks closer than anything I found :)
Sof
With your info, I found a flower alike mine. Might it be a Lavatera trimestris?

Looks like one of the hardy hibiscus, but it could be any other member of the mallow family
