I have a hard time with hollyhocks because of rust. I try every year because I love them but most years I end up having to pull them before they bloom. Or, as I've had two different years in the last five or six, the hollyhocks are fine they don't get rust and all of the blooms are a creamy white. Boring! A buddy of mine's growing the Fiesta Time. I told him if he didn't save me some seeds I was going to steal his dog. (He's got a really nice dog) He swore he take care of me.
Barncat chose to eat all the treats in one sitting. Then she tried to blame the other cats. ( There are no other cats. She would never allow that.)
All of my ‘hocks are volunteers. They started appearing about six years ago. Some are nicer than others, but they’re in many different colors. Here are two:
Wasn't Jenny glad to see you?
Oh, and did I miss the Rapture?
Jenny isn't the pest Penny is -
If the Rapture happened nobody told me.
Not really expecting anyone to go out of their way.
Second show at 6:00.
Juice sez if you got teh curry comb and brush yer good.
Looks like the Minions got beamed up. At least Amos was spared. 👽
I wouldn't be surprised if the Minions summoned the spacecraft for some nefarious reason only donkeys understand.

My hollyhocks don't look anything like that!
Barncat knows what you did...

Their leaves eventually become skeletal and not very pretty, but they are nice flowers all summer long.
Nice! That second photo is great !
Sycamore bark makes a nice background.

That a ufo above Amos???
I'm worried they may have started some shit.
