Another hot steamy day here in Ontario. My hollyhocks are blooming and I took this picture this morning with Coriander in the background. My Goosenecks are also starting to bloom. Have a great week everyone. Blessings ~Janet
Hi Janet, Your Holly hawks are beautiful. We always had them when I was a child but I haven't seen them around here in years. I had forgotten how lovely they are. I've just put them on my list for planting next year. I haven't done any gardening this year but I'm hoping to have room for a small flower garden and an herb garden when I move. Please take care and that you for the cheerful post. Constance
Gooseneck loostrife are so pretty, but I will never again plant them. At my previous house, I had them and they took over. Growing up we always had hollyhocks growing next to the barns. Ugh. So dry here in Ohio. Must go water the few annuals I have.
I love love LOVE Hollyhocks...have since I was a child. Unfortunately, my luck with them here are hit and miss...mostly miss. I know they are biennials, but I will have them for a few years and then, poof, no more....And if I do get them to grow, they don't last long with our winds...no matter how much I stake them. But I will never, ever, tire looking at them...even if they are through someone else's lens. ~Robin~
I just planted some black ones so I will love to see how they do. I know they are kind of hard to grow, I have had a lot die out too. Not people know that they are a biennial. I have had people tell me that theirs don't come up and I tell to check the next year.
