Hollyhocks and roses

The delicate translucence of hollyhock blossoms is definitely the prime attraction. They look almost like the could have been made of crepe paper.




The second set of blossoms on the floribunda rose Nicole are as spectacular as the first were.

The same can't be said for the second wave on the grandiflora Pink Parfait. It looks like they are going to be only half the size of the first blossoms. Still, they do look impressive.
