Hollyhocks

Pink Hollyhocks
 The pink hollyhock was the last to bloom this summer. I liked it because I could see all of the tiny veins. And it has a wrinkled appearance instead of each petal being smooth like silk.


Yellow Hollyhocks

There were a lot of hollyhocks this summer and that was the only kind of flower that came up from its seed. These were all pink.

    1. Yes, save the seeds for next year and I think you will have good results.
