Well, I was out working in the garden today for the first time this spring. It was not hot, but definitely warm enough to weed and start looking at which plants made it through the winter and which ones didn't. This is an old painting of hollyhocks. I loved growing them back east and am hoping to put some in here in Colorado. I can't wait to start filling in empty spaces in our huge back yard. I love the xeric plants that we have put in and am amazed by how many things grow out here even though the deer come and hang out in our yard.
