The summer has been extremely hot. And like us humans, the plants have struggled to cope and survive. Having to savor in the sporadic drops from the ceiling above to the recent sudden and seemingly malicious onslaught of hail and snow and rain

Yet if you’re like me you you’re almost nostalgic at seeing the hollyhocks swaying majestically in your backyard, a beautiful red bursting it’s bulbs, yellow blossoms golden tomato blossoms and one of my favorite flowering plants.
