For My Dad

During my last visit to the US, my dad shared with me that he REALLY likes hollyhocks. Being as that is one of the very few flowers that grow really well here, I thought I'd share a few of our beauties that we've grown with him here.

Enjoy, Dad!!

His nickname is Bumblezilla!

We have many shades of pink from very light, almost white, to dark maroon. They are all very lovely!

Some grow as tall as 8 feet! Here they reach almost to the top of our grape trellis!

I love this shot against our storage shed- with its faded door.

Enjoying the colors and scents of summer,
