These from Gertrude Jekyll's walled garden at Lindisfarne (like finding Monet on the North Sea).
Very different in effect from New Mexican hollyhocks. I must try again to get some to grow in my patio, against the grainy wood of the back fence. I am desolate now, though, coming back from the lushness of British gardens to the parched August of California.
