I've never actually tried this as I love the flowers too much to pick them when they're out. If you try lit out let me know how you get on.Dulce Domumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835872248177497717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-5787410827909556122008-09-18T22:32:00.000-06:002008-09-18T22:32:00.000-06:00Oh, I would love to grow some of your hollyhocks!!...Oh, I would love to grow some of your hollyhocks!!
