Good, after all...the topic say's 'Share your Hollyhocks' lol

You know what Diane....they are probably in my seed box somewhere.....I'm glad you said that because I'll have to look in there for them. I sure hope they are there because your white ones are just beautiful. thumbup

Of course I'll save you some of the double ones. grin

Beautiful! I just love them. Of course like I said, I have a thing for very tall plants! thumbup

Of course I'll share the seeds! Someone might need to remind me towards the end of summer to come back in here and see who all wants them. I might forget by then.... blush

Diane, I just went out and was looking at all the seeds I have growing and a bunch of them look like Hollyhocks, and now I think back I'm almost sure I planted them in there earlier in the spring. grin Only time will tell. lol

Mine are still buds. I like Hollyhocks, but I hate trying to collect seeds from them. They always have those weevils amongst and inside the seeds....ughhh...who says all guys like bugs and squirmy things? lol

Belinda, just out of curosity, how big is your dog? (I saw the sign...couldn't resist lol)

Aw, I want Hollyhocks. I just want the pink, dark pink and white but no dark red so I haven't wanted to buy the seed mixes. Definitely want to put in next year.
