Hollyhocks

I really like these in the garden but there are those who regard them as weeds! to me, they are just old world garden flowers.
John mowed, Alison and Jim came, comings and goings. An inch of rain out of the storm yesterday but not much in the way of thunder and lightning. Jim said they had a real gust over on their side that blew stuff out of the bed of his truck. We didn't get that.
