In a Cottage Garden . . .
It is not too common to see Hollyhocks (whoops – just been told they are Digitalis!!) in Aussie gardens – it really gives a wonderful cottagy feel.

lovely Rosalie, is it your garden????
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
I wish!! No it is a local suburban block given over to some unusual plants and trees – so restful and yes, it would be wonderful to own (as long as you had a resident gardener!). Thanks lovely lady for the visit …

Beautiful Rosalie. We used to grown hollyhocks back in England in our previous life. Lovely shot. Peter
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
Hollyhocks always seem a British thing to me!!! Thanks for the visit and kind words Peter. (Does this image appear darkish??? Now that I’ve uploaded it it seems a lot less vibrant! Strange)

I was singing the same song as Max. Beautiful garden. Puts mine to shame. Who has time to garden??
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
You need a squadron of volunteers to do this Gail!
Victoria Jostes
just lovely! feels like i’m walking down the path! (could these be digitalis?)
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
Oh goodness – I think you are right Victoria – I have always believed these to be hollyhocks (probably from children’s picture books featuring Mary Mary Quite Contrary!!!) but I just looked up Wikipedia, and I have been misled my whole life – they ARE ‘common digitalis’!!! (Not so common in Australia) Thank you for pointing that out!
Marvin Collins

Excellent shot. That could be dear old blighty at the height of summer, or what summer we do get!!

It does look a bit British to me Clive – may your next summer be better! This is Spring for us. Thanks for the kind words.
