Dreaming of Holly Hocks


I hope for many more Holly Hocks in our garden this year. We already have some, but not enough.

Having a whole bunch in different pastel colours - like the ones in the mosaic - would make a dream come true.

Ever since I, at the age of 7, saw all of the beautiful Holly Hocks at my grandparents' little farm in the country, I have dreamt of getting an old house with those exact flowers growing along the outer walls.

The old house we already have. Our little white house from 1912 is a suitable background for the tall plants with the delicate corollas - now it's time to go looking for seeds and herbaceous perennials.

  3. Det gjorde jeg også, Miri. ;)) Jeg anede ikke at de hed sådan på engelsk.

    Jeg synes at de på én gang er så sarte med deres papir tynde blomsterhoveder, og alligevel så mandhaftige når de står i vinden og svajer.

    Hav en rigtig dejlig weekend. :)))
