This is my one and only Hollyhock flower. I've an apricot coloured one too, but the wind snapped the stem.

I have always really liked these. I guess some people consider them "old fashioned" but I think they are lovely. Well done, Janey

I like old fashioned plants, my cottage is 250yrs old approx. so it's nice to keep the garden the same, I have lots of herbs in a kitchen garden just by the doors at the back and pots of lavender. I like the feel that in the garden I could be anywhere and anytime.

Janey, I think that is a very nice way to feel about your garden. Is it 2008,1908 or 1808? Who's to know. Sounds great to me!

Thanks Wohlibuli, and at the moment I'm reading a Barbara Erskine novel about the Witchfinder General, and feel it's 1608!

I've only got single Hollyhocks at the moment. I didn't think I'd like doubles, but yours is beautiful and the yellow one Jacque showed us is too - so you have changed my mind! Thanks.

Thank you Spritzhenry, do you know what to do about Rust on them, it spoils the leaves so?

I think you are meant to spray them very early on, but as it's too late now, I just pull them off and burn them! I really must seek out the appropriate spray ready for next year... A reminder on the Calendar page is called for!
