Hollyhocks and Butterflies

Thinking of spring I designed a new collage called Hollyhocks and Butterflies with bright red hollyhock flowers in watercolor and ink. I've yet to be real successful in growing hollyhocks. It seems though if they just get started they come back each year. I've seen them in places I thought would be impossible for them to grow and they bloom happily with little water and sun and support. They are a great flower for fences. Maybe I'll scatter some seed near my fence this year, leave them and see what happens.
