What a lovely hollyhock bloom, it almost looks like a hibiscus! And I love the shape of the unopened buds. We had hollyhocks many years ago, but i don't remember these cool buds.
Lovely! Is this near where you live? The name struck me because we have Pigeon Creek down here and it is a very extensive system that floods whenever the river is high.
I can never resist shooting hollyhocks....at one time I had some here and want to get some more started. There is just something about them.
it is perfect!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty!

ReplyDeleteThis was a favorite flower of my Dad's. This brings back nice memories for me.
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty. I love hollyhocks, too. They have an old timey feel to them.

ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful blossom. No wonder you can't resist shooting hollyhocks. I'm glad you can't.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful blossom shot. I Like the detail in the petals and stamen with the seed pods(?) below. Altogether a fine flower image.
ReplyDeleteI, too, like Hollyhocks. So tall and stately. We had such an odd winter and Spring that mine did not reseed. Wah!!! MB
ReplyDeleteYep, we both have a problem, Rose. I like to photograph hollyhocks too. I have quite a collection of hollyhock photos in my archives. :))
ReplyDeleteI love hollyhocks. That is a gorgeous photo Rose.
