My favorite kind of flowers are the old-fashioned ones you would find in a cottage garden ~ foxglove, climbing roses, peonies and hollyhocks ...
Well, for the first time ever, we appear to have successfully grown hollyhocks! Ours are growing in front of our potting shed, and there are *a lot* of buds ... here's one showing just a glimpse of its true color:
It promises a pretty shade of pink! I hope my hollyhocks grow up as lovely as the ones at Teri's family farm! :)
They look beautiful!! We have scads of massive Hollyhocks at our rental, they look like giants!!! I hope yours are a little daintier, LOL!!
