Fabulously magenta.
My magenta hollyhock plant is blooming and it's fragrant too! Never knew that hollyhock is fragrant until this Monday. I smelled something rosy while standing next to my coral hollyhocks.

Tomorrow 's promise.

First sunflower bud. It's the tall variety that self seeded here. I left it be since only a handful from seeds that we planted came up.

Oh..What a feeling!

Bee rolling around pollen in a glowing hot pink hollyhock. I waited for a bit in knee high corn that I planted around the hollynhocks hoping not to trample on them..

There she is Miss Oriental Lily in the evening sun. It's worth the wait n there are at least 10 more buds on this plant. I planted the bulb 3 yrs ago.
