I like the perennial hollyhock that is almost black the flowers are so big shiny and beautifull I just love them

at my old house one year this plant started growing and at first I thought it was a weed
I had never seen this big leaf plant before and I knew that I had not planted this thing because it was in my green bean patch I moved it out and thought I will wait and see since that is what I alway do when I dont recognize something boy what a surprise I got when it started to make this tall flower stem when the first bloom opened I was so happy I had kept it, later found out one of my neighbors had them the year before so the birds gave me a gift

in a couple of weeks I will start some babies from seed so I can have some at my new house
