Hello Heidi, I love your pink hollyhocks. My grandmother grew them along her fence and as a child I always admired them. I need to grow some don't I?

Pink Hollyhocks are lovely. This year I saw ones that were peach and called Peaches and Cream. There is something so regal about Hollyhocks.

My hollyhocks are a deep, deep purple, nearly black. Something must have happened to my pink ones because they didn't come up at all this year. Thanks so much for sharing!
Such beautiful pink hollyhocks!

Thanks for sharing. We're sharing peanut butter ideas and Elvis stories at diningwithdebbie.blogspot.com. I hope you will come join us. Or, join us for Crock Pot Wednesdays. Mister Linky will be ready for that on Tuesday.
I love old-fashioned flowers. The hollyhocks are lovely and the ones you photographed are well behaved. Mine bend and droop and look ungainly, but I keep trying :-). I hope you are having a wonderful day.
Aren't hollyhocks wonderful? As a little girl, my mother showed me how to turn the blossoms upside down and make them into a lady with a long skirt.
Beautiful!
Happy Pinks Saturday!
My grandmother always had hollyhocks at her homes. They are so graceful and majestic! Thanks for sharing the amazing ones in the picture with us! Have a great weekend. I signed up for the Swaps and I can't wait!!
Gorgeous!

Happy Pink Saturday, Heidi.
I love hollyhocks, and I've always wanted to try growing some. Maybe I will try next year.
Your PINK hollyhocks are beautiful! I've never had much luck with growing them. Warm wishes, Esther
I love hollyhocks. Usually I plant some in the spring, but I was away this spring and couldn't. Thanks for the photo. Happy Pink Saturday!

Pretty! I love Hollyhocks. I tried to grow some in my garden but I don't think they thrive in my zone. That's my excuse and i'm sticking to it. Happy Pink Saturday! ~ Robyn
Busy weekend. Just now getting around to see all the wonderful pink. Beautiful hollyhocks. We have had such a cool summer that my hollyhocks have not opened yet, still at the bud stage. Hopefully they will open before the freeze comes. It was 39' last night.
ENJOY!
