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.

Hollyhocks

It had rained earlier this Wednesday morning, so I decided to use a photograph that was taken a couple of days ago and this is it. I love these colors and a whole hollyhock filled with these blossoms is a sight to behold. Brookville, Ohio, where I live has had a splendid spring and early summer. Last year we had to endure an intense heat wave that lasted all summer along with a drought of biblical proportions. Everything is lush this year and for that I am grateful.
