hollyhock

I have not noticed before how the centers of some hollyhocks have a perfect star embedded inside them!

It has been a very busy summer here in the garden.  Stop and smell the flowers.....or at least look at them!!...really look at them!

Hollyhocks are an edible flower and there are so many different types and colours.  Don't these look nice with the grapevines on this wedding cake?!  From a wedding I worked on last summer.
