Hollyhocks...........


We haven't had a summer like this for a long time.  It was hot today and plans to stay  hot for some time.  The rains though have the hollyhocks growing like gangbusters.  This is a hollyhock which will have red blooms. I had collected its seed from up the alley at a neighbors home and the seed did grow.

We could do with some warmth! I look forward to seeing the hollyhocks in full flower.

Female, Not Red!

 The female cardinal has its own subtle beauty with the soft browns and hints of red. The orange beak is great to see.
