We moved here almost two years ago and it wasn't until this week that I spotted a couple of tall plants growing in the shade of a couple of trees, bearing some Beautiful coloured flowers, that turned out to be Hollyhocks.  This tree has thorny leaves and one that I had sticking in my back as I tried to get a photo of a caterpillar. |

Take your word for it mikkel, but I thought they looked more like Foxgloves? Anyway, a beautiful plant and a cracking photograph mikkel, well done!  |

Yes, they are Foxgloves, Mikkel. Let them seed themselves out and you'll get a lovely show every year.

True what DAG says, but since I love them so much, I let them grow where they will.
