Update HollyHock
It is just about ready to flower, I did see a hint of pinkish red today on one of the blooms.
Back Off Rosebud!
The weather has been very hot and humid, these type of clouds lovely and billowing every day, not much rain.
An old soul milling about smartly in suburbia, (not my first choice) creating life in a Farmhouse Worthy way. Old fashioned skill sets, homemade,handmade,heartmade, I make my home cozy working with my hands crocheting, cooking from scratch and baking fresh homemade bread. My family & I deserve my intentions to provide a simple lifestyle in a haggard rush around world. Slowing down & creating with intention & joy.
My hollyhocks aren't that tall but are also about ready to show color. Aren't they just a happy flower?
ReplyDeleteRosebud, don't eat the hollyhocks! I know they are deer candy, but keep your nibblers off of them! I planted four tiny hollyhock roots, and only 1 came up. It's the size of a small dandilion so maybe next year. In the meantime, I can't wait to see yours!
ReplyDeleteI have been reading about them, and am happy this one took and found it's own special place,after I had given up.
ReplyDeleteThat is what happened with this one. I gave it up for dead, it resurfaced and then my deer friend Rosebud....you know that story. I was surprised when it came back in the spring. It flowered today....oh so pretty, I have never seen a Hollyhock before.
ReplyDeleteYay for your blooming Hollyhock!!! Hopefully it will bloom, drop seeds, and next year they'll all pop up.
ReplyDeleteI saw a deer yesterday. I am seeing many more, but I hope they enjoy the crops vs. my garden too.
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty, but I cannot take any credit for it. Mother Nature put her there, as that is not where I put the seeds. :) at least that I can recall. This is a two summer project. She is lovely, and I am thankful she was able to bloom and thrive, and I've not had my hand in it at all. She is tucked into a corner where the stairs meet the house.
