I'm really enjoying my hollyhocks this Spring. I planted the seeds a year ago last fall and I had 3 of them come up and they survived last year's BRUTAL summer. This year I planted more and they have just thrived. I go out every morning and water them. I love their colors, I love how the buds open up, and I love seeing the hummingbirds visit them. We've had some terrible winds here this season, so yesterday I went out and tied up 3 of them.
Here are some photos of my lovelies:
Sometimes after I've sprayed them with water, I run out with my camera. I have about 30 new photos, but I haven't uploaded them yet...maybe tomorrow.
By the way, it will be 100 degrees here today, then down to the low 90's, then the mid-80's here next week. Mid-80's are PERFECT here, as long as there isn't any humidity.
I sold a journal yesterday, so I need to go to the post office and mail it out to its new home today.
Take care.

Very beautiful. I only see them here after the Japanese beetles eat them.
ReplyDeleteThose flowers are beautiful! It would be fun to see the hummingbirds feeding at them.
