This is one of the hollyhocks, on that long stem, I showed in my SOOC post. These blooms are very dark red, and usually photograph almost black. I thought the morning light coming from the back really showed off the color.

the creamy yellow pollen makes such a nice compliment to the deep red of the flower.

ReplyDeletePretty color. I find dark pinks and reds are hard to capture. Mine often turn out a lighter color than they really are.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos...I used to make leis from these blossoms when I was a kid.
