Wonderful capture of my grandmother's favorite flower. She is long gone now, but I remember her tending to all of the ones in her garden.

I really love the light and colors here and the way you composed the shot with the clusters of yet to open buds. Beautiful! Today hollyhocks are definitely considered an "old fashioned" flower; but for anybody living in an area where they are seldom seen, rest assured they're still thriving in the Rural USA! I see them all the time out here (not that I have captured any half as beautiful as this!) Well done, Melissa!

Melissa- The rain did nothing to stop you from getting this most beautiful picture. Gorgeous work my friend. Love the framing of the picture. Wonderful composition and clarity. I agree with everyone about the lighting and those beautiful rich colors. That is stunning work girl. I to enjoy florals where we have buds and open blooms. Love that what is now and what it will be thought. Amazing work my friend. Have a wonderful day, do take care.
