Hollyhocks

On the other side of the front door

The hollyhocks in the front garden have really enjoyed the fact that they are no longer competing with the ivy. (we had someone take it down and then the Thoughtful Man dug out the 'trunk' and the roots.)

The stems of the hollyhocks are very thick, enabling them to stand on their own without being staked.

Just a few blossoms now, but they should be pretty when they are full of blossom.

I would like to grow some other colours, if possible.
