I love how it's something almost anyone can do. It's nothing expensive but it's the memories that hold the true worth. You did a great job with this. Enjoy your flowers friend :)

A very pretty poem about pretty flowers. Isn't it beautiful that your mom gave you the love of planting the flowers from the seeds she gave to you and now you share with your daughter. A beautiful legacy!

What a LOVELY poem! This was delightful and gave me the sense of heritage, which is such a strong tie for me. Thank you!
No errors, just tons of praise.
Thank you for sharing this unique flower. I wonder if it could hold up to Texas heat...I'll have to check. And I love the poem format. I'll have to try it. :)
Many thanks and blessings your way,
Deb

Hello Debora,
I so enjoyed penning this piece.
I would think hollyhocks would grow in Texas! They like full sun! Not certain about the heat...
Thank you for your excellent rating and review!
Much appreciated!

What a wonderful celebration of life and the generations that continue on. In this day of Corona, it's nice to think about lovely and positive things. Thank you for putting a smile on my face. Hugs, Lou

Thank you for sharing your generational love of gardening in your beautifully done swap quatrain, Diane! The video was interesting but I was worried there would be a tornado coming!
Loved how you feel the connection to your mother and grandmother and daughter through the preserving of the love of hollyhocks. I planted them, too and am hoping they will come up!

Engaging poetry, perfect in form, and apparently telling a true story about so esoteric an interest as the beauty and personal significance of hollyhocks to the narrator.
Brava, Diane!

Good Morning, Don!
Thank you for your exceptional rating and review!
Would love to be out in our gardens today - if only to see if hollyhocks are popping up - but we were "dumped on" by Mother Nature with more snow than I care to measure!
Hoping you are safe and well!
Thank you!

You're welcome, Diane.
In time, (thanks to your poem) the snow will melt, allowing you to enjoy your hollyhocks.

Lovely imagery, uplifting theme re tenderly tending hollyhocks and passing on seeds to the next generation. Flows well in good rhyme. I like the closing foundations/generations. Cheers. LIZ
Back to congratulate you on your well-deserved prize!
