I have waited with much anticipation for the hollyhock to bloom.
I had no idea what color it would be.
Have a lovely weekend.
I may be somewhat scarce this weekend as I have a family commitment.

Love hollyhocks... they seem so old fashioned and always remind me of the dancing ladies we would make with them as children.. sooo sweet!

ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful color, Olive. Like Diane, I remember making ladies out of them when I was a kid.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend.
How pretty and I love the color. It's so thick with petals too. Brings back memories from my childhood.

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely double pink hollyhock - the last image would make a wonderful fabric design.

Oh I have them in all white. We should trade seeds this year.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful. Hollyhock's grew along the side of the garage when I was little.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! And I agree, when I buy them at the garden center you get what you get and it's fun waiting to see:@)
ReplyDeletePS-Your pink is very pretty!
DeleteHow pretty is that? Love the color.
ReplyDeleteOlive,
ReplyDeleteI planted just a few hollyhocks last year and am hoping for blooms this summer. I think the colour of yours is fabulous! Wowie! A few years ago, a friend and I were driving by some cornfields. Along the side of the fields, parallel to the road, was a long line of hollyhocks that went on for a good distance. It was one of the prettiest, unexpected things I had ever seen.

It's exciting, since they
ReplyDeleteare a biennial, right?? I
have always wanted them,
but alas, have not had
the perfect spot for them
to flourish!
Gorgeous.

ReplyDeleteWhen I was little, we made hollyhock dolls using toothpicks, flowers & flower buds.
That was such fun...did you ever do that???

ReplyDeleteHi Olive, what a gorgeous bloom! My plants are huge and the blooms will be arriving soon. I can't wait. Yours is such a lovely shade of pink. the last shot is cool. Now a new follower of your sweet blog.

WOW! So that's what a hollyhock looks like! I thought I had one (given to me by a friend) but the blooms are more like Morning Glories, although the color is the same as your hollyhock. The rest of the plant looks the same though. Hmmm....wonder if Romeo peed on it and shocked it into a shadow of it's former self.....
ReplyDeleteHope you had a grand weekend!

I am back at last, hurrah I have missed my visits! The hollyhock turned out to be a gorgeous colour.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely colour. I've got a volunteer hollyhock plant growing and I'm wondering what colour it will be. The flower heads are just developing.
