This is a Alcea Chaters Double Red. This is a flower that donīt like it much up here, but someone have evidently succeed. No me but a neighbour to my mother :) Next year I try to take a shot of this in full bloom.

It's beautiful. Another of your superb macro shots. The soft background makes the red stand out like a beacon. Nicely done.

It's a beauty Mariana. Very unusual and a perfect deep red. No wonder you want to try to grow it as well. Great framing and presentation. A keeper for sure.

Beautiful flower, and I love the presentation with the simple yet elegant framing. Are you sure it's a rose? It sure doesn't look like one, though it's beautiful enough....

I love Hollyhocks. This newer variety is so much fuller than the traditional strain. The red of the blossom is intense. I wouldn't mind having some of these, but they need full sun the link said and I haven't got much of it here under all the towering pines. Very pretty presentation, Mariana.

Spectaular in every way - that sort of red is difficult to get right and you have done it perfectly. Lovely framing as well.

You have used a lovely framing technique for this beautiful full brilliant red hollyhock. My mother used to grow the single ones in her garden many years ago, and your photo brings back fond memories of happy bright summer days. Thanks for posting this, Mariana.
