:: alcea iii ::

I accidentally mixed up the dried hollyhock flowerheads I'd carefully collected, saving their precious seeds...
...as it takes a mighty long time to get to the flowering stage (depending upon which season they were planted!) it has been a long wait...
...finally (18 months later!!) I can now report that I am very happy with the results so far - this rich crimson surpasses my memory of the Mother plant's blooms and the others that are coming out are decent bright pinks and only one white one so far...result!
