In a Flower Bed

I came across this bumble bee early this morning while I was walking around my garden.  I love early mornings in my garden, especially if I have a nice hot cup of coffee to sip as I stroll.

This bumble bee was curled up inside this hollyhock-and at first I was afraid he might not be alive-but before too long he awoke, and dripping water droplets from last evenings watering as he flew, he began to make his morning flower rounds.

I love hollyhocks,  as they remind me of the gorgeous hibiscus I see in in Hawaii.

And I’m glad the bumble bees appreciate them too.

  3. There are a lot of holly hocks blooming right now - they are just huge and so, so gorgeous.

    When I was young, my mom taught me how to make holly hock dolls. I think I need to plant some for next year just so I can make some!
