That is pretty and well worth the wait , I had a black one that didn't flower for 2 years and when it did it was a lemon colour , never mind I love it anyway !

That's a beauty. Do you see the "Gardens Illustrated" magazine? Not long ago John Hoyland (who runs a nursery in our neighbourhood) wrote an article about Hollyhocks - the variety was an eye-opener!

Indeed it was Crissue. I didnt see the article S, I think its a pity they are not grown more - must be the rust that puts gardeners off?
