Beautiful as always! Your ‘Garden Helpers’ must be relaxing in the A/C. ;)
I LOVE those ‘black’ Hollyhocks so much! We are remodeling/upgrading our barn, and there is a spot just BEGGING to be filled with Hollyhocks when the walls and roof are re-painted.
I was in a bit of a rush this morning and forgot to add the last photo of my helpers:
The black hollyhocks are all volunteers, not as large as the original plant, which was massive in height and volume. I wanted them to cover up an ugly garage wall but they seem to be growing everywhere but along the wall. Next year I'll thin them out and transplant them back where I wanted them in the first place.
