A post dedicated to one flower.
I have been remiss in my garden, but busy with the camera in other gardens.
This is an easy flower to grow in California, so I can’t explain why it isn’t all over mine.
The pinks get darker and darker.
Some are already red.
But translucent as the sun shines through.
And then we get one so dark, it could almost be called black.
Which is why it is so hard to photograph.
Not even a pretend hollyhock, but I couldn’t resist.
