Hollyhock

A single flower open on one of my hollyhocks with the evening sun shining through the petals

Pretty! Like how the light shines through the petals.

What a lovely flower. You must have a wonderful garden.

Love backlighting, it makes the color so luminous.

This is so pretty! I love the light shining through the flower and the color!

I love the large flower of the hollyhock, although a garden flower they are also found growing wild particularly in small towns just at the edge of the pavement.This is a great shot with the light shinning through.

@juliac @nanm @april16 Thankyou for looking and commenting very much appreciated. It caught my eye as the sun was shining through the petals.

@mamaours I expect they look lovely growing wild they do seed very well and pop up in unexpected places.

@nataliemac Thankyou for looking Natalie very much appreciated. I love all plants and flowers having been a florist most of my life. I prefer to buy a plant for the garden which gives me pleasure hopefully for years as opposed to cut flowers which only last a couple of weeks at the most. When I was a florist I saw large amounts of money spent on flowers and always thought it so sad they were so short lived.

@wendyfrost I couldn't agree with you more. The last few flowers I've received have been potted, which means I get to enjoy them for a very long time, over and over again.
