So sorry for all you struggling with drought. Here in Upstate, in wine country, we have been hammered by rain......
I have a rock garden with one succulent just starting to flower....it's whimsical (to me).

Thanks pal.....it's rather different, not sure what it will look like in full bloom.....rock gardens are great for whimsical, blizzard plants...lots of fun, especially when I'm ripped.

That tiger lily is awesome!
The cactus in the first picture I posted is called Mammillaria grahamii.

The first daffodil has emerged, and bulbs appearing everywhere. I thought I’d got them in a bit late for decent flowers, maybe not.

Update on the Hollyhock.
Measured it yesterday. It's now 13 feet 3 inches tall.
I hope it makes 14 feet.
I've never grown them before and now I know how they grow I reckon I can get them even taller next year, weather permitting.
The tallest hollyhock, as reported in the "Guinness Book of World Records," was 19 feet, 7 inches, grown by George Palmer of West Clandon, Surrey, in 1978
That'll be a challenge lol lol
A really big bumblebee feeding on flower.
Next years hollyhocks.
A late flower on one of the roses
Enjoy

I haven't grown it for years now. It liked my sandy soil. Likes the Su.n I think it's flowers stayed closed when it was overcast.I grew these for the first time this year. It's called Gazania. It did really good in the front where I never see it but the plants I put in planters on the patio never took off. It's a species from South Africa. I'll grow them again.
