Very nice RiverRock! I have tried HollyHock in my garden three times and with no success. Yours is lovely.

Your rose is lovely.
I've never grown hollyhocks, but fairygarden is going to send me some seeds to see if I can do it. I would love to have some no matter what color. Yours is gorgeous!

I never had luck with hollyhocks either. Maybe I'll give it another shot sometime. They're beautiful flowers.

You have pretties!!!

Poe If you need some seeds, let me know. I start mine this time of year so they will bloom next year.

Beautiful flowers, RiverRock! I have a hollyhock that's mostly white, which I didn't plant. It has a bunch of babies, some that are blooming this year. I'm in Oregon, too. Maybe that's why they take no effort.

Your roses and hollyhocks are lovely. My hollyhocks always had leaves that were ate up by some type of bug. I tried applying an organic pesicide, but I still had trouble with them---so, I gave up fighting with them. I got the seeds from a friend of mine, also living in Kentucky, and her hollyhocks are flourishing with never any pest problems. mitzi
