Always welcome Ange 😍

First one to open, it's facing the wrong way though 😃 #pink

🙄😂😂

Typical! 😄 There'll be more tomorrow 💕💕💕 @juliesgarden

I’ve got a beautiful white Poppy that’s turned its back to the world 😂

Isn't it always the way 🙄😂🌺

Beautiful color!💗

Thanks Katie and Chris @gjones @Mimi58

I'm going out in a minute to see if there's any more sociable ones flowering 😂 @Auricula @pelly

So pretty but oh no, not the wrong way 💕💕💕

Yup! 😄💕 @midnightgardener

Hi everyone, not long now, can't wait to see these flower! 😃 #pink #buds #hollyhocks #grownfromseed 🌸🌸🌸 Just looked back on here, these were sown 51 weeks ago - didn't realise I was that patient! 😄

Morning Ange.. well done 👏🏻 👏🏻💗

Morning Ange. Love these but mine usually suffer with hollyhock rust 🙋‍♀️

Morning Julie, thanks, they're a variety of colours so I hope I get a good mix 😃🌈 @juliesgarden

Morning Pauline, I've had bought hollyhocks in the past that ended up with rust. I'll have to see how these go.... 🤞😃 @flof1952

I had a free packet - yet to sow - guess I’ll have to be patient… love the colour💕

Morning Elise, first time growing these from seed for me. They've been easy enough just taking their time.... 😄 @Auricula

Fingers crossed 🤞 My previous attempts resulted in rust from the very outset so sadly had to give up on them

Such a shame - love these for the cottage garden look! 😃 @italydiva

Not long now.... #pink #buds

Ahh, now I see it 💗💚💗

Thanks, the blank was a different one to this. If no-one can see it I'll re-post. @pelly

Love the contrast of the bright pink with the fuzziness of the green

Me too, hopefully it's flowering this morning 😃 @italydiva

Hollyhocks are loving the rain and sun, I've got 18 in the sunny border in the front garden 🌸🌸🌸 #hollyhock Giant Single Mixed. Looking forward to seeing the different colours 🤞😍

Update photo 18.9.20 Just put these in unheated mini greenhouse til I've got space in the borders to plant them out.

Giant Single Mixed #hollyhock Typical #cottagegarden plant 23.7.20 💛💕💛

Great to see that you're giving these a go again 😊

Yes, I was inspired by yours and a few others on here 😃 They'll suit my front garden especially 🙂 @jeatacake

Thanks Ange 😊 Mine are doing so well this year that I'm after some more varieties for next year👍

Sounds good, there's so many to choose from! 🙂 I'll sow these at the weekend 🌱🌱🌱 @jeatacake

There are! I'm after black ones & a variety of double flowered ones. If you get them going now, there's a good chance they'll flower next year 🤞

I've seen some of the doubles on here, can't remember who - they're fab too! Exciting! 😀 @jeatacake

It is, especially if they do flower next year along with the others I already have ☺

I've just looked under Hollyhocks on here and I have to say you're the Hollyhock King!! 😀🤴🌸 @jeatacake 😆

Ha ha ha, thanks Ange! That's a very fine compliment which I'll gladly accept! 👑🌸😁👍

😄😄 @jeatacake
