My Dear Füsun,

Thank you so much for visiting. It was interesting to walk from France, to Germany, and then to Switzerland in the space of a few minutes. - Over this bridge www.ipernity.com/doc/2247998/48852460
I just happened to spot these growing on the railway embankment! I am pleased that you like them.

Love Peter

Mallow is a plant. People use the flower and leaf to make medicine.

Mallow is used for irritation of the mouth and throat, dry cough, and bronchitis. It is also used for stomach and bladder complaints.

To treat wounds, some people put mallow in a warm moist dressing (poultice) and apply it directly to the skin, or add it to bath water.

In foods, mallow is used as a coloring agent.

Hi aNNa ,
Thank you so much for your very kind visit.
I am pleased you found it interesting enough to dig out all that information for us. It is really appreciated!!
There are always so many new things we can learn from each other!!!!

As my guess on your more recent photo is confirmed, I knew this was mallow, an ever present wild plant on any wasteland in Madrid (a bit like how buddleigha took over bomb sites in the UK after WWII).
A very pleasing shot, Peter,
