Just about the only flower I know will grow here is the Hollyhock.
The first few years were the best as they grew all over the place but as the droughts hit many dried up plus a couple wabbits moved into the neighborhood and have feasted on some of these tasty blossoms.
So, this year I have a few of the shorty's coming up and if I can get down low enough I ought to be able to get a few more shots ...... it's been windy lately so taking photos isn't an option.

There was a time my garden was full of seasonal flowers including hollyhocks but now because of too many trees around seasonal flowers make a fuss.

@rebelann I am all for trees and I do not mind if seasonal flowers do not do well. Trees are the need of the hour the world over.

I like them, I used to work at a place call Hollyhock, nothing to do with flowers.

Without a doubt @JohnRoberts Poor Ally tries to catch them but they're so fast she doesn't have a chance.

I love hollyhocks. They are beautiful against a good backdrop like a brick wall or trellis. I grew some a few years back and they did well, but fell over when it got windy.

I love them too especially when the hummers come around for the nectar.

My grandma had those growing up the side of the garage every year. We used to use toothpicks to make dolls out of the blossoms and heads. What a nice thing to remember on a Sunday, I'm glad you posted that!

It is beautiful. I didn't realize rabbits would eat them. Of course, I am not shocked either.

These words are really beautiful. Even wabbits like to eat beautiful flowers.

Thank you, nature provides the beauty and my camera captures it if I hold it correctly.
