Hello all 🐝

I haven’t planted the plant pictured below, it just appeared in one if my borders.
Very pretty - is it some sort of a mallow?

Thanks 🙏🏻

    The leaves and the flowers look more like Sidalcea than Hollyhock, imo.

    Thanks all. 
    If it a prairie mallow (the leaves look spot on and the flower spikes are opening exactly in the same way as what I’ve googled), then roughly how tall do you think this cultivar may be and which cultivar could it be?

    I love it and it’s in a great spot too.
    Are they wind pollinated, or animal pollinated? Wondering how it may have arrived in our garden, but rather pleased it has!
