I was happy to be out in the early part of the morning to capture some photographs of the hollyhocks while the sunlight was still lighting that side of the house. Again, I have seen no honeybees in the flowers. I worry that between the parasites and the insecticides, there will be no more bees in the flowers, and that would be a shame.
There are more photos of mine, besides this one, of hollyhocks for sale at RedBubble.com. Also, I have found and uploaded some photos from earlier years of hollyhocks with bees.
nice post. thanks.
