The Hollyhock

It all started with a volunteer hollyhock about 5 years ago that appeared in the chicken coop.  It was a dark maroon. After it was done, another volunteer appeared in the garden;  it was pale pink. Then another one appeared last year in a spot that seemed workable, so I left it. What you see above is how it looked a month ago.

Now we know what color IT is. It is a cream color that I find I like better than the pale pink.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another time there'll be a person next to it for scale.  This is its size this morning.

I should note that I did buy some seeds after the volunteers arrived, since I was inspired.  None of those plants have survived.
