I took this hollyhock photo in Clyde, Central Otago, New Zealand just a few days before we went into L4 lockdown, 22 March 2020. What a beauty!Click on photo to enlarge
I think I like the dark hollyhocks even more than the pale pinks. Maybe because after a few years (if you can get them to come back so often) they seem to revert to the same pink anyway.

Yes I like the dark one more, but I’d love having a whole range in my garden.

They’re the kind of flower that should grow in flocks 🙂
