My grandmother grows them as well, and they're always striking -- even more so now that the rest of the gardens have turned to dust.Tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17486127981293088285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7825862861569609473.post-65689652941060015912012-07-11T23:33:49.223-04:002012-07-11T23:33:49.223-04:00Spectacular!Spectacular!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16626241243466441305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7825862861569609473.post-67533057050304559112012-07-11T13:54:05.592-04:002012-07-11T13:54:05.592-04:00I love hollyhocks and remember my mom showing me h...I love hollyhocks and remember my mom showing me how to make hollyhock dolls. If you have never done it, it's fairly simple: pick two hollyhock flowers, with a bit of stem. Take one stem off and hollow out a little hole. I can't remember how we did it, maybe a fork or sharp pencil? Then put the stem of the other flower into the hole you have created. One flower is the skirt and the other is the head and hat. We drew small eyes and a mouth on them. <br /><br />I have another fond memory of impressing a boy in college with this. :)Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17017181574951131381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7825862861569609473.post-80108035473908398892012-07-11T12:22:20.805-04:002012-07-11T12:22:20.805-04:00I love hollyhocks.
