Courtesy of DR, I find this charming Danish "sister." We are both slightly mad for flowers and knitting. I may have to take this image down, as I am waiting for her permission to keep the thumbnail in my journal. So, enjoy this now. Apparently, Danes do not battle hollyhock rust. Or, this gardener is fey and fairy-charmed. A dear friend, PW, gave me a hollyhock seedling that will bloom in the next two weeks. I hope for pale yellow blossoms, as they are the hollyhocks of my dreams. (Dreaming in color is very pleasant, for all, but especially gardeners). Here is a word on DR. She knits, crochets, reads, and is very wise about many things, including prairie life on the broad expanse that is Mid-to-West Canada. I believe, that one day she will knit or crochet lichens. These handcrafted creations will be botanically accurate. She is very fond of lichens and makes personal study of them. I have such interesting friends. Lucky me.
