Lovely flowers in this thread!

Here are some plants that are quite common in my part of the world. First some hollyhocks that have just started to bloom.

Garden project: I found some long willow cuttings a few months ago from trees that had been cut back and planted them in a big pot, forming them into a little willow tree. Then I sowed nasturtium and thunbergia which have now started to climb and flower. Perhaps a bit difficult to see in the photo, but it's the black container two steps to the left from the green watering can.

I love it all, but especially the Hollyhocks. I have brought Hollyhock seeds back from England and France and just cannot grow them here in coastal Florida. In the summer are night temperatures are between 75 and 80F. I think the Hollyhocks need cooler evenings. The same with sweet peas.
