Re: Hollyhocks


Gene and Donna,

This reminds me of a few years ago when we were on holiday
in France.  We visited a very old fortified village that was
built out into the estuary of the river.  Everywhere we went
in this place there were hollyhocks.  They were quite a
feature of the place - even all the postcards featured the
hollyhocks more than the beautiful old buildings.  Donna,
you would have loved it.
