Someone--a lovely Listia person whom I never got the chance to thank, so I'll do it now. Thanks!-- told me the name of my mystery plant. It's Malva Zebrina. This makes sense. I pilfered some seeds a few years back to grow these on my cat Zebrina's grave and here it is growing in USDA zone 5b, pretty as you please.

It’s a perennial, 2-3 feet tall but rather spindly and tends to sprawl on the ground. The flowers are profuse and pretty-as-a-picture! A pale pink, with darker pink veining and the foliage is unique and fern-like. Over-all a very sweet little plant which seems to like to spread and self-sow so you’ll always have it.

As soon as a verified address is supplied to me, I will ship out the next business day.

All Listia rules apply, of course. Please think and be quite certain you want these before you bid. I can’t ignore bids once they are posted. If you bid and win regardless of buyer’s remorse, I’m keeping the credits. It is a hassle to have to relist an auction because of careless bidders. Sorry to be harsh, but I’ve been increasingly put-upon and I don’t like it nor need the trouble.

Original
It was a biologist/horticulturist who suggessted it was in the Malva family and I recalled taking some seeds from a Malva Zebrina, so I assumed this was the result of open pollination. I'm guessing it's another cultivar all together. I'll have to change the name. I'll try to get a photo of the seed pods in a bit.

i think it's in the mallow family. i thought maybe rose mallow. it looks like the geranium family except for the spindly stems. i think i got some in a wildflower mix a few years back.
