these are so pretty, nicely taken 🙂
Thank you! Good to see you here.
Lovely quote from Roethke. How appropriate. Have a great weekend!
Hey, you too!
I didn’t know they were called hollyhocks, it’s a nice flower we see quite a lot of them here, even in the city. They have this project since a few years in which they plant wild flowers around the trees in the city. It looks lovely, very special, little patches of wilderness in a town.
I’d love to see that. I’m pretty sure I used to make dolls out of these flowers when I was little, but can’t imagine how.
Okay, so I think that plant I have in the garden is actually a hollyhock after seeing these pictures.
Cool. If your daughter wants to make dolls out of them, there’s actually a how-to video on Youtube:
