Violet Hollyhocks

Two years ago I bought four different kinds of Hollyhocks but for some reason they don't grow the next year for me. When my Aunt sold her house and transferred to Florida the person who bought her property cleaned up her property and that means all her flowers and trees are gone! Good thing hubby and I went to visit the place and there it was a violet hollyhocks  trying to survive. So I asked the new owner if I could get the flower and he told me I could get what ever I want. I digged up ms violet hollyhocks and planted it to my flower garden. This year I notice (again) hollyhocks do not grow good in my area but then just this month I saw three of them started to grow and give flowers. Then I observed the plants has different  shades one is light and has white color at the edge and the other one is deep in color and the edge has no white. Really nice to look around my flower garden and admire there beauty.

Cosmos

I bought a box of different seeds last year and put the seeds on the ground after a month it grows and I see different kind of flowers which I do love. Since it was annual I thought I would not see them again so I was planning to get another box this year. Fortunately, many of the flowers came back this year and one of it is Cosmos. Though the only that came back is the pink color but I cannot complain it is very pretty and I love to photo shoot this flower it's just very photogenic ^)^

Re Bloom Lilac

When I heard about a re-bloom Lilac I told hubby it is my wish that it is the flower that he is going to give me on mother's day. My wish is granted hubby bought the re-bloom Lilac for me two years ago. Indeed this flower re-blooms after it bloom in spring. After all the Lilacs bloom my Lilac is still blooming even until the early of winter. At night time or early in the morning when I do my walk I always stop to my Lilac and look for blooms and but the already wither flowers. For now it is the favorite hang out of Japanese beetle but thankfully it did not damage the flower or the leaves compare to my hibiscus. Here is my photo of my re-bloom Lilac, you smell it?
