| Summer hollyhocks, white |
Yesterday was the Summer
Solstice, for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, so I thought a wander
around the garden would be a nice way to mark this special occasion. The sun
has been shining for a whole week so it feels like summer at last and although the
sunflowers in the fields are not quite in flower, the hollyhocks in the garden
are putting on a great display.
I love our hollyhocks as every year they
self-seed all over our garden, giving us tall spires of vibrant colours. They also decorate the roads all around our village and can be found in the surrounding villages all
the way to the coastal resorts of the Charente-Maritime. Here are just some of
the colours I found flowering today, in our garden. I hope you enjoy them as
much as I do. Here's to a great summer!
