It starts out a brown ball or pod that opens into five segments that look milky white, lined with fuzz. It is perhaps 1 inch across in diameter. The pod (or flower) is one of several on the plant, on long tall stems. It is growing in a garden pot in an alley near my home. Thank you.
How can I identify this unknown flower or weed?
I do believe that what you are seeing is called a musk mallow...It's actually very lovely when it blooms...
See picture...

Reply:When I have this problem, I'll usually pluck the weed, place it in a bag, and take it to my local Home Depot or Lowes and visit the garden dept. They always have massive books that identify every plant known to man, and they will help you look it up.
