Hollyhock

I love hollyhocks but I have never really been able to get them to grow, so i feast on them visually whenever I see them. They remind me of my grandmother who could grow them and loved them also as much as she loved pansies, which is a lot. I wish she could be here to see my grandchildren (and children) just as I wish my mom was here for her grandchildren.
I give thanks that I had both of them in my life, although not nearly long enough.
