I've been hoping for years that one of my hollyhock seeds would actually take, and bloom. Today, I located, at long last, one very short, but perfectly formed plant. I am impressed. I thought that it would be a tranquil image in the midst of a few very non-tranquil few days - I'm currently halfway back to LA, and was detranquillized, whilst posting it, by news crossing my screen of a fire burning in Griffith Park, by the observatory - maybe a mile west of us. Thankfully rapid response and little wind means that it seems to be under control - but my nerves (and doubtless Alice's nerves) could have done without that.
