Oh my! Memories of my childhood growing up with a gardening mother. She seemed to have no secrets or gardening expertise other than, plant it, water it and watch it grow! She grew wonderful Hollyhocks along with many other plants/flowers that are considered "vintage" now. Thanks for giving me a lovely reflection back. I am too a gardener however have never had success with this old fashion beauty.
Hollyhocks always remind me of my mother. They grow quite well here and I think I might have a spot where a stand of them would flourish. Thinking next year I might give it try. These pictured are so beautiful and healthy.

I envy anyone who has success growing them...i have tried & never could. These are perfect1
all is grace!
These are certainly prettier than any hollyhocks I have ever grown. I love them--probably because my grandparents grew lots of them on their farm.

I love hollyhocks but haven't been able to grow them in South Carolina. Too hot!
