hollyhocks
I really must get on with hunting for a new camera, then I could show you how pretty I find the opening hollyhock buds.
When I was a little girl, my mother had hollyhocks growing against the wall of our home, just as they grew in the walled gardens of monasteries centuries ago.
I planted a few last year and waited until this one for the plants to bloom.
All is not beauteous in the garden, as something is making holes in the leaves.
There's a little research project for me, unless you might have an idea and a remedy.
Meanwhile, I'll choose to focus on the pink and red blooms.
