My first Hollyhock flowers! I didn't have a clue what these were going to look like, my friend gave them to me to plant last august, and they were 3 inches tall!!!

This unusual looking crow(i think its a crow!!) was in my garden eating seeds for ages this afternoon! Its markings were strange, had lots of white patches on it, when it flew away there was loads of white under its wings!!Pete was here, and said it looked like an old crow ! and then went on to say, just like me!!!!!!The cheek of him!!!
