Thanks all for the compliments. And for our birthday gal, Boojum, I just happen to have saved some of those peach HH seeds this fall. I think I recall Pixie wanted some, so I saved some for her and thought others might want some too. I will send them out later in the winter. Any other takers? This peach one has bloomed reliable for years for me. They are very tall and robust. 10 feet. . I bought it at Surry Gardens in Maine in 2002 and it was marked "Alcea ficifolia peach Fig-Leaved Hollyhock. This Hollyhock is considered a perennial & will act like one if cut back after blooming." And so it has been for me. July 9th pix. So blooms are a bit later than my other HH.

Love that spider DL, Aabachee. I just got a bunch of new ones on a DL coop. I have decided that they are my favorite form. Well, for this week. So Fickle. Planting them today if it clears up.

If you want to see my spring bulb blast, here is the site. March 23 - May 30th. I will be busy this winter
labeling the pictures. Patti
