Flowers in the gardens


I have let the columbine plants along the front walk and the hollyhocks along the backyard fence come back from seed for the past several years. Both seem to have undergone some cross pollination of colors and varieties. Where once I only had pale pink and white hollyhocks and some newer burgundy ones, now I get some whites with colored centers and various hues of purples and reds. Where I started with yellow and blue columbines, I now get pure white, fuchsia, pale blue, yellow and various shades in between. I love the variety so I am just letting them go. I am a lazy gardener basically!
