For me this is an old classic garden bloom. My Mom & Dad always had a few of them planted around the yard & gardens. I can remember as a child seeing them and admiring their beauty. The bloom makes a great photo and banner as well. Nice work Kurt. Thumbs up And thanks for refreshing my memory with a delightful plant.

These were originally planted by my Mother. She got a mix of a few Hollyhock seeds from a friend of my aunt.
I can't remember how many different ones we had to start , but I have saved seeds from the 3 different colors.
I separated them but forgot to label them, so one day I will have to replant them and record which is which.

Just when I think they are done they have kept popping up from time to time without replanting yet, I had one last year
but I do not think there is any out there at the moment.

A Photo of the 3 colors from 2016 same year as the banner shot. and last years plant.
