HOLLYHOCKS         |

They are ridiculously, gloriously humongous........

I love hollyhocks...in my neighborhood there is a patch of them. They are such a beautiful color. You have a lovely display of photos of the hollyhock Sparkle.

Thank you..... In 1963 I had a coat that looked like these flowers......A Spring swing-coat in a light gabardine....Remember that style?...just above the knee, fitted in the shoulders and sleeves, a little Chinese collar....and then flared to the hem........It went out of style really quick though.....Maybe a silk dancing dress in a silk crepe that has a weighted hem so it flares when you twirl and then curls around your legs like a Hollyhock bud.......Mellow Jazz....brushes on the drums, a stand up bass, and a velvet saxophone........Billy Holiday singing Summertime........

We have some pink hollyhocks blooming by the wooden walk just outside our bedroom. I remember them from when I was a child in our backyard in Illinois.

Almost everyone I knew used to have Hollyhocks somewhere .... often around the burn barrel or the garbage cans to hide them. I don't see them as much as I used to. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

Beautiful colorful flowers. We have hollyhocks in our community garden with different colors. They are so beautiful when they are in blooms! "The only way to have a friend is to be one."

Sparkle In 1963 I knew a girl who had a dress with flowers exactly like those. LOL I thought it went well with her natural flaming red hair. Now my daughter & youngest son have red hair. LOLOL. Perhaps that girls dress & your coat both originated in Texas. Her mom (who also had red hair) LOL-----managed a sewing factory here that sold throughout the U.S. Her mom was one smart talented mother-in-law. She would design & alter shirt, blouse & dress patterns for manufacture & she would personally sew custom fit tailor made clothes for my kids at no cost. LOL Excepting the jeans! Great pictures Sparkle. I like bright colors. Especially RED. LOL Party On!
