Innocence of Hollyhocks~
First blooms take me back to plantings of old-fashioned hollyhocks, tall as cornstalks, fragrant with a clandestine first kiss from Ronnie's lips, hidden, hushed, and blushed, too young to be this romantic, I walked away with a smile, and a large pink blossom in my hair.
What became of him, I never heard, I'd like to think he has a side-yard of hollyhocks, and someone to kiss with first blooms.

Thank you Cat, they were one of my Mothers favs too, I always think of her when I see them, she had them blooming beautiful on one side of her fence..others had spread to the neighbors side..who was a bit of a Grump lol, so he liked to mow them down, that didn't sit well with her. Sky~

If I had been that neighbour I would have thought how lucky I was that they started growing on my side of the fence too. Your mom's side and my side would have looked so great!

Can't wait to move to the new house. We will actually have some room to plant with, even a greenhouse. Miss having a garden too, will be nice. Love this!
