Naughty color hollyhocks

Finally. I have found a house/garden -- or is it an attitude -- conducive to growing hollyhocks. And isn't she lovely?

I call her Astrid my Myla girl. Love this color. Delicate, but not frail. She stands up to the world. Quite like eVA in Wall-E, the wonderful movie I saw last night with my friends Charlie and Addie. Wall-E! Wall-E!

We sure could use some rain. . . .
