Hilary's hollyhocks

My neighbour has a very small garden but she manages to grow a huge selection of flowers, most of which are randomly planted in the gravel!

This one caught my eye as I fancied it looked like some sort of weird animal!

Rosie has gone to stay with my sister in law today while we are away on holiday, I know she will be thoroughly spoilt and probably won't give us a second thought but I really miss her and the house don't seem quite the same.
