JUL 25, 19 .. IRKUTSK .. FLOWERS FOR PATTI ..

Back last May, Patti said to me that she would like to return to Alaska in early June. Then she changed her mind saying that if we were to do that, since she wanted to see Hong Kong and maybe Mongolia, we would have to leave Irkutsk soon and that she would miss seeing the trees green out here in Irkutsk.

Long story short, we stayed in Irkutsk until July the 5th when we flew to Hong Kong, missing a visit by Patti to Mongolia, but here in Irkutsk, Patti saw Spring and the green arrive to her wonderment.

However she missed seeing one particular group of plants green out and bloom. When we left July the 5th she sort of 'sighed' saying that she would miss seeing them bloom.

Truer words were never spoken. She did indeed miss them blooming because they are now (would you call them late bloomers?) in late July in the process of exploding in color.

Patti did not seem to recognize them. I said that I thought that they were Hollyhocks.

My Dear One, I could not believe my eyes when I saw them this afternoon as I walked past them on my way to the store to get some groceries.

Are you ready?






As you will surely notice as you look at the close-up photos, they are NOT done flowering out. There are numerous buds waiting to explode in color.



Just look at all of the the buds still waiting to bloom!






The above links indicate that Hollyhocks can grow to 5 feet in height. Let me tell you, some of these are well over 7 feet in height!













Well Hello Mister Bee!


A Bee doing what Bees do.



Just a little gift-of-love for you My Dear One.

  1. WOW, WOW, WOW, and delightful squeels!!!! I am glad I specifically asked you to check out the hollyhocks when you said you were going to go to the store. They are magnificent, many colors, and yes, taller than 5 feet. When I left and they were covered with buds (and only two or three flowers), the stalks were already about 7 feet tall. The links you put in this post were amazing, especially the second one that went on, and on, and on, with hollyhock pictures. Smiling and still squeeling! Love, Patti

  2. I am so-so-so very VERY HAPPY that you enjoyed the Post. THANKS 100% to you, I walked past them and not directly to the trash where I usually head when I start out to the store. Let me assure you My Dear One, I was NOT thinking about the status of the Hollyhocks. Much Love .. Cap
