Hollyhock
The only hollyhock I've been able to get to live in our humid climate is blooming this year. They are biennial, so any one plant would only bloom every other year. And since I can't seem to get any other started, this is my every other year treat!
Charlotte VI
Introducing Charlotte VI....the latest Orchard Orbweaver that I have found in the yard!
Lunch with Nh today to hear about his new apartment...and w(h)ine with J made for an enjoyable weekend!
