IN THE COTTAGE GARDEN BEDS

Posted by Biggus on July 31, 2011 - 10:07
from the ABC set THE NATURAL WORLD - FLORA AND FAUNA

In the sunny cottage garden
The Hollyhocks thrive
Pleasing to the eye
And loved by the butterflies
Hollyhocks are the eatery
For larvae to thrive
Perpetuating the Painted Lady
Also pleasing to the eye

Ah lovely- am very fond of Hollyhocks-they are almost a part of the country's history growing outside old cottages . Thanks for an enjoyable read Paul.

I remember them very vividly from my childhood.
Thanks Pia
