My biggest trouble has been when I enter a flower store I am completely overwhelmed by all the choices of flowers. I have no idea what to get! There are to many!! I know you are suppose to plan out the layout and design of your garden before you start randomly purchasing items. However, that takes up so much time and energy, I'd rather just go to the store, become overwhelmed and come home with an odd assortment of plants...that I will most likely kill in three days.
All this being said, one of my random purchases during one of these overwhelming trips, was a very small hollyhock plant. When I bought it, I got it cause it reminded me of my sister (her favorite, I think). I wanted a hollyhock, but I didn't want a whole bunch (cause they are mucho money) and I figured...I'd probably kill it like my other plants. Well, surprise, surprise, this little puppy (randomly placed in my garden) seems to love life despite my lack of attention to it. It is now nearly as tall as Jonathan and today...it flowered!!!! I was so excited, I had to take a picture!
My gardening skills my be slim to none...but I grew a hollyhock plant and it looks lovely!!

I saw, just buy what you love, figure out how to take care of it and hope for the best.
Then again, I've been known to kill cacti.
I like your flower. :)
I meant to say, "I say" not I saw, but whatever. :)
B-E-A-utiful! I killed my pretty pink flowers...guess I can't get a pet until I master that, right? Nice job, MB.
I LOVE hollyhocks! Ours just finished blooming, so it is nice to see a fresh one! Keep up the good work!
I think your gardening is very skilled. I am afraid to plant anything in a planter and were it not for my friend A. Cox and the flowering plant I got at church on Mother's Day, I would have nothing. So I'm impressed! -rlr
