My Mother grows really pretty Hollyhocks, I have never had much luck with them here in the woods. Hollyhocks are what I call "Old Fashioned " flowers..check out more macros at Sunday Stills Macro Monday:)

Might be old fashioned, but still beautiful. I see yall are getting some fall colours starting up there. Stock up there will be a SS challenge for that in October..:-)))
ReplyDeleteLovely flower, beautiful color.
ReplyDeleteSunny :)
I love hollyhocks. Nice shot. :)
ReplyDeleteI like the transparency of the flower, the light coming through makes it look like tissue paper.
ReplyDeleteSo very pretty. I often see these but didn't know what they were.
ReplyDeleteI have a purple hollyhock bush and I love it. I guess it is a little old fashioned or maybe more a tradition. My grandmother had them and so did my mother. I had to continue. Your photos is lovely. You really captured the color perfectly.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty flower and I love the color. Have a great evening.
ReplyDeletereally pretty, it almost looks like another smaller flower is growing inside :)
ReplyDeletePretty flower. Great color.
ReplyDeleteI think they are lovely! You've definitely captured the transparency in this shot!
ReplyDeleteOooh! This is so pretty! Well done!

I grow them too...and love them. I like lilacs and all the old fashioned flowers,too.
ReplyDeleteLoved this photo.
Very sharp image. Nice job on the macro.
ReplyDeleteLove hollyhocks, reminds me of my grandparents farm, my grams had them everywhere..such nice memories...
ReplyDeleteI've always loved hollyhocks. I had some in Ohio many, many years ago. I'm going to try to grow some next year here in KS ... I found some old hollyhock seeds when we cleaning out an attached shed area to the garage, last weekend. Hubby said they are from his mom's hollyhocks (she passed away before I met hubby). Wonder if they will still grow?!
