Who put the wheels on my hollyhocks?
Those vagabonds. Really. First the tulip and daylily traded places. Now there's a hollyhock in the middle of the as-yet-unplanted garden plot. How does this happen? I blame the squirrels for the bulbs moving. But the stray hollyhock? Maybe a bunny or bird ate a seed and, er, dropped it there.
I transplanted it before spreading the compost. Here's hoping it thrives in its new home.
Stumble It!

I love hollyhocks! It's funny how things have "legs" in a garden.
Maybe you moved it WITH the compost?
I love that you can recognize a hollyhock at that tiny stage! I love walking through my yard finding the tiniest, newest shoots.
After moving into our house in NJ, I couldn't tell what all these 'weeds' were all over, they were coming up everywhere. I left them 'just in case'. And Oh My Heck, they were all oriental lilies! TONS of them, they were fabulous!
Somehow this sort of thing always happens to me. Whenever I purposefully plant something it struggles to grow. But the seeds that blow in with the wind or are transplanted by critters - those seem to flourish.
Hopefully your transplants thrive!
That's pretty cool! Here's hoping it grows and flourishes.
Thanks for stopping by my site today! That is most curious about the moving plants. Hope it survives in its new home!
My goodness! I had the exact same thing happen to me! I have a new, lush plant about two feet from the original. Who would have thunk?
