Hollyhock

A post dedicated to one flower.P1150526I have been remiss in my garden, but busy with the camera in other gardens.P1150560P1150522This is an easy flower to grow in California, so I can’t explain why it isn’t all over mine.P1150563The pinks get darker and darker.P1150540Some are already red.P1150562P1150565But translucent as the sun shines through.P1150564And then we get one so dark, it could almost be called black.P1150561Which is why it is so hard to photograph.P1150605Not even a pretend hollyhock, but I couldn’t resist.
