I realized with my last blog I talked all about the hollyhocks and never included any photos! These are my favorite ones to paint, and people must like them too if I keep selling them! I have been trying to find these single pink ones to plant in my own garden. Last year I bought a hollyhock from a nursery...and it turned out to be a double red. Red is about my least favorite color, and the double ones are so difficult to paint well.Yesterday, my son surprises me with a begonia he bought from a little stand in front of a neaby house. We went to see it...and there for sale, for only$3, among all the other perennials, were 2 potted hollyhocks! And because 1 was in bloom, I was assured that they were my long desired and oft painted pink single hollyhocks!
Funny too, that earlier in the day I had inquired at a local gift shop about their gorgeous hollyhocks and if they sell them. They sell mums and lilies that they grow, but don't sell their hollyhocks. Never would have believed that later that same day I would get a gift from my son that would lead to me planting my own pink hollyhocks!!
Maybe I should buy a lottery ticket.

A lottery ticket would seem to be in order.
Sounds good! Maybe I'll win like I did last time! 12 bucks is 12 bucks!
