Macro of hollyhock
These are hollyhock days in my gardens. I live in a century home (older than 100 years old), so hollyhocks seem appropriate in my gardens.
Dark red
Many years ago I planted seeds for "black" hollyhocks. Truth be told, they were very dark red, not black.
Dark pink
Hollyhocks are biennials. But hollyhocks keep coming because they produce many, many seeds.
Red hollyhock
Most of my plants this year are either red or pink.

Awesome macros! Looks as though I could sit right down inside those blooms!
they're beautiful! we had some in our farmyard in wisconsin. :)
These are one of my most favorite flowers. None of mine have bloomed yet, but close (I do hope). You sure captured their true beauty here.
i am not familiar with this one. a nice varity of color, they are "happy" blooms!!!
I had some in my Sarnia garden. They were a favourite munching ground for some insects -- at least the leaves were.
I feel like a recording, but these are simply beautiful!
What a beautiful flower, and your macro is simply magnificent!
How wonderful to live in a century home EG I bet you have some wonderful original features. In another 60 years my house will be too, only I won't be around to see it :) J'adore the hollyhocks, perfect for an old country garden.
Gorgeous shades in those, particularly the last one.
LOVE that first shot! Nice macro.
So, so beautiful! I love the way the light shines through the petals of some of these photos. Thanks so much for sharing the love up-close with I Heart Macro:-)
Wonderful colors! Gorgeous blossoms!
Beautiful vivid colors and nicely captured.
Hollyhocks are my favorites, esp. as a kid when I made ballerinas of them.
A beautiful series of photos and great flowers.

Fantastic, EG!!! There were hollyhocks in my yard when I grew up, but I have not seen any for many years.
Such beautiful shots of these holly hocks. The colors are stunning and your focus is perfect
Beautiful Hollyhocks. The bring back so many childhood memories. Mom had a large patch of them.
They are beautiful! I love them, but so do the goats. Mine seem to have died out.
Lovely flowers, colors and photography.
They're gorgeous and I love all the different colours.
I had the black (dark red) variety in my garden when I lived in Toronto. They came back one summer and then the next summer they were gone... :(
Love your hollyhocks! Mine are red to and rather unusual as they are flowering now, in our mid-winter.
Absolutely beautiful shots!
They are very pretty, great shots.
Very cool close up!
