Several years ago I planted some hollyhocks in
one of my flower beds. I had always admired
them, especially when I traveled out West.
They were all over Santa Fe and Taos, and I
wondered if I could get them to grow in Louisiana.
Well, they did. And they come back every year.
The pink flowers are the current blooms on
the stalks. The first year they bloomed, they
were yellow, and I photographed them and did
the colored pencil drawing you see here. But
since then, they have been a different color every
year....same plant. One year they were peach.
And the last two years, they have been pink.
I do not know how this is possible, but they are
beautiful. I may have to draw some of these
pink ones.
I sold the original colored pencil drawing seen
above, but I do have prints available.
