Hi Everyone, Greetings From Northern West Virginia
I have hundreds of Hollyhocks, thus our farm is called Hollyhock Farm. My Grandma had hollyhocks at her fence line and as a child, my cousins and I would take the blossoms and make dancing ladies out of them. They are classified as bi-ennials meaning they bloom every other year but once you get them started, they re-seed themselves and you will have blooming hollyhocks every summer. They're all colors from rose, yellow, dark burgundy, pure white and pale pink. I save the seed heads each year for sharing and would be happy to send you some. Send a dollar and self-address stamped envelope to me after you e-mail me. We can start a new group of "Hollyhock Sisters". I have photos if you want to see them. |

Hi StarMeadow, great to hear from you! I love everything old-fashioned.

Hi, Dutchy, you really have been busy! Everything looks great, you do good work. Your cabinet looks real nice in white and 'pink'. I am painting my office. I had to take the paneling and the really old wallpaper off first. Got it primed last night and my daughter will help me sheetrock one wall today. I am looking forward to it being done. Have a great day.
Find your joy and live it. http://cheneybaglady.blogspot.com/ |

Here's a song I used to sing acapella when I was a voice student at college:
Cabin - by Tennessee Williams
The cabin was cozy
And hollyhocks grew
Bright by the door
Till his whisper crept through.
The sun on the sill was yellow and warm
Til she lifted the latch for a man or a storm.
Now the cabin falls to the winter wind
And the walls cave in where they kissed
and sinned.
And the long white rain
sweeps clean the room
Like a white-haired witch with a long
straw broom!

Your mother was Dolly Parton!? ha ha ha! I love her!
I sent an email for seeds, too. I just love them in a garden. I have been a Grandma since I was little. That's what everyone tells me. Doilies everywhere, lace curtains.....hollyhocks just go with that, don't you think?

Hi Joyce! I love the idea of a "Friendship" garden! I plan to create one from seeds that have been "gifted" to me! I hope I will have seeds next year to share with everyone also!!
Do you happen to know if they will grow in the SouthWest? I would love to give them a try, if you have enough left to share!
Please do let me know and I will email you. Thanks so much for sharing!
Until Later,
Audrey

Joyce, I would love to participate in this also, if I may. I remember my grandfather planting these many years ago.

uh oh. Have you run out of seeds? I haven't heard from you yet. I'm not trying to be pushy, really. I just don't think my emails are getting through.
