Very mysterious.

My Hollyhocks have only ever been pale yellow or pale pink before.This is a self seeded one I dug up and sent to the seaside for the winter. I’ve never seen this colour before. Drove to St Annes and worked hard on tree applications. Lunch in the park. An online meeting about some trees on a development site. Then home to make tea for Will. Have discovered this evening a lady I have worked with since 2011 is moving to another team. It’s going to be extremely difficult to replace her.
