There are some plants which aren't rare but which don't have a very specific habitat. Musk mallow is one of these and I see it most often on a dual carriageway verge when zooming past it at 70 mph. This one is on the verge of a fast country road and I took the picture with cars flashing past. Stace reckons this might not be native in the part of the UK where I found it.
