The hollyhock - I planted all its seeds last fall, but none came up, so it's still a singular hollyhock ... - is in bloom at long last! Indeed, on Facebook today one of those "a year ago today" items popped up headed "the end of the hollyhock season," so clearly it's not on the same time frame as last year. What's more, it has attracted the dreaded Hollyhock Weevil - a very small insect with a nasty long beak - I only know this because I was messing around (pre-blooming) with a macro lens and thought - what's that? So it is a little stunted, too. But it's beautiful to see it, and clearly there are enough buds to keep us going for a few weeks longer ...
