I thought this tall stately flowering plant in the school garden was a variety of hollyhock. My guide Ellen gave me the real identification. Are you as surprised as I was?

Wonderful timing! Someone just told me that I should plant some hollyhock next year. I didn't know what they looked like....and thanks to your picture, I don't have to look it up! This is great!
I now know that I am a greater fan of this plant's flowers (I won't tell, so it will stay a surprise) than I am of this plant. Another fun and educational shot! And the blossom is quite pretty.
