hollyhocks and sisters





My sis came and stayed with us for a week. Twas lovely for both the kids and for yours truly. We went out to Reimer's Ranch and waded/swam in the Pedernales, and generally just hung out and did boring family stuff most of the week. My folks came up for the weekend and we drove about looking at properties for my parents.

I also planted some hollyhock seeds which were acquired at the Point Ellice house on Vancouver Island, in Victoria. They have sprouted! I will include a shot of their sweet little seedlings as well as a shot of the original plants in Victoria. They have been collected and grown in that garden for almost two centuries. Awesome!
