I may not have a tiny jewel of a gingerbread cottage of my own (see this post), but I do have hollyhocks!These tall, graceful, yet rather blowsy flowers have been one of my favorites for years. Shortly after we moved into this old (1874) house, I planted hollyhocks by the back door. And they have taken off.
As I've been out of state during this time for the past two years, I haven't been home to enjoy them.
So: voila! Some amateur photos of my hollyhocks. Now I want to plant more poppies: both California poppies and peony/carnation poppies.

I love the way that hollyhocks, delphiniums and foxglove add height to a border.
This is the perfect companion post to LPC's cottage garden post earlier this week.
Beautiful photographs!
Oh, they're lovely! (An aside, I also love the word "blowsy.") This is such a great time of the year for gardens and gardeners.
Oh I love those hollyhocks!
You are very fortunate to have such a healthy bunch of them and they are thriving under you TLC.
Beautiful! I don't see many hollyhocks near my (Long Island, NY) but would be happy if I did.
Have a great and blossom-filled weekend!
Hello hollyhocks! You sure look happy there!
