Where have the Hollyhocks gone?
I keep looking for the Hollyhocks. I used to see a bunch on Shawnee Mission Parkway just east of Mission and there was one group that was along the fence on 71st Street but I do not see them this year. A few years back I lost the four-o-clocks and I adjusted but it is hard to give up hollyhocks. My sister, Helen, and I used to use them to look like dolls. I don't think I know how now but maybe she remembers how. She said we use to line the hollyhock dolls up on the railing of our porch. Sort of looked like bridesmaids in a wedding. I'll keep looking but think they are through for the year anyway. Now the four-o-clocks should go on for awhile. There was a piece of dirt between the driveway and the house where I grew up. I'd say about two feet and that is where the four-o-clocks were but hollyhocks need a place for height as they are over four feet tall (I think).
