Sunny Hollyhocks

Thought to have originated in the the region of Turkey, hollyhocks have found a home in gardens and on roadsides from there through Italy to Great Britain. They provide a wonderful backdrop for shorter flowers. Hardy, they like a variety of climates and come in colors ranging from white and delicate pinks and yellows to rich magentas and almost black purples.

Pistils and Stamens

There's a saying, "You can't see the forest for the trees" that is trying to teach us to really look at things. This is a prime example. Sometimes the real beauty is in the small details.

Rodney's '57 Chevy

This Laker's fan is sure proud of his '57 Bel Air. In pristine condition and in Laker's gold, sporting Laker's pennants from the rear antenna he certainly loves cruising L.A. freeways.
