Hollyhock Blooming Now in Our Home

I have been watching every day a new bud turning into a blooming flower on the hollyhock plant at home.

We have some planted in a container and some in the ground.

We are curious to see if any of them will remain perennial and will bloom year after year.

I was intially intrigued what it is, when I was listening a docent talk about the Hollyhock house, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, and the aesthetic which combined indoor and outdoor living spaces. 

I attached a link to the phrase Hollyhock house in case you prefer to peek there, in stead of typing the name on your search engine.

Hello Steffy - I have been to the Frank Lloyd Wright Hollyhock House but I doubt I would be able to identify one upon seeing one.

Hi Michael Jacobs , I looked at the video to check if I will identify/recognize it. I think the ornaments on the structure are a stylized, geometrical vision of the hollyhock plant, and the videographer (from the link) had captured one plant waving with the wind to the viewers. Initially when the docent was referring to the Hollyhock House, it didn't sound any different to me than "Falling Waters'" for example, a combination of words describing something that stands out in the structure.

It has been a while since I have been to this Frank Lloyd Wright house.... my favorite is the Ennis House and the reason is since I sold a house two doors down from it:)Endre

Hi Steffy Hristova, wonderful photo. It's easy to see how Mr. Wright drew inspiration from this lovely flower.

Hollyhocks remind me of my mother's garden in summer!  I planted Sunflower seeds this year.  I've been waiting two weeks for them to sprout.

Oh my gosh, what a beautiful blossom. Hollyhocks are a classic in cottage style gardens. Easy to see why, they are so charming.

Steffy,

I love hollyhocks.  That is a gorgeous bloom.  We have toured Taliesin West when we where in AZ with friends years ago.  It was one lovely experience and I learned so much.  We had a friend in Los Angeles who lived in a Frank Lloyd Wright home..A

Hi Steffy,  Thanks for sharing this beautiful hollyhock.  My Mother-in-law always took such pride in her flower beds - she had some beautiful hollyhocks too.

Hi Myrl Jeffcoat , I was late with planting the sunflowers this year. We love to have the sunflowers in our yard as they always attract the rosy-faced love-birds.

Nice post Steffy. Although I would not love living in a Frank Lloyd Wright home I am fascinated by the style.

Hi Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD , I understand they can grow quite high, up to 6ft. I can see them as a height layer in a cottage style garden. Thanks for your comment.

Hi Ron and Alexandra Seigel , I agree, Taliesin West in Scottsdale, AZ, is a lovely place and the docent tours are always so informative and inspiring. The Hollyhock House is not too far from you, distancewise. I would love to visit it in person one day.

Hi Bob Crane , I am glad this flower brought a memory of your Mother-in-Law's garden. I have photos from my Mom's flowers over the years and love to look at them.

Hi Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty , in Tempe and Phoenix, I can see FLW's influence in many structures - ASU Gammage is one of them, for example. It's fun to see the shelters that the architecture students build for themselves on the Taliesin School campus, too.

Oh, what gorgeous blooms, Steffy! I'm a huge FLW fan and it's easy to see why these blooms influenced his design.
