Photo #153: French Hollyhock


I believe this flower is called a French Hollyhock. The plant and flower is much smaller than the traditional hollyhock, but the foliage is similar in shape and appearance. These flowers were here when I bought this house nine years ago. I had other ideas about what to plant in this flower bed, but the French Hollyhock is just as tenacious as it's larger relative. They are self seeding, and they come up everywhere. I have given up. Now if they mange to come up and bloom, I just let them stay. They really are very pretty.
