The photos were taken early in the morning.
The following were taken during morning bright sunshine.
Some pink ones too!
Alcea rosea
Alcea rosea (common hollyhock; syn. Althaea chinensis Wall., Althaea ficifolia Cav., Althaea rosea Cav.) is an ornamental plant in theMalvaceae family.
It was imported into Europe from southwestern China during, or possibly before, the 15th century.[1] William Turner, a herbalist of the time, gave it the name “holyoke” from which the English name derives.

Ek stem saam, vroeër jare was daar altyd stokrose in die tuin. Dis asof dit nie meer so volop is nie. Toe ek hierdies sien kon ek nie ophou fotos neem nie. Hulle was so gesond en pragtig.

Baie dankie. Ek het hul al begin mis hier want mens sien hul nie juis nie. Die huis wat ek opgepas het het die reuse stingels met blomme gehad. Hul was dubbel so hoog as ek. Moes van bo van die eerste verdieping afneem om moi trosse te kry!
