Just a plain old chokecherry tree in the back of our garden, right?
Becky pointed out something to me.
I have two holly hocks back there in front of the tree.
They are in full bloom. Can't you see them?
They are a pretty dark maroon and they blend in with the maroon leaves of the tree.
I hadn't noticed they were blooming until Becky pointed it out.
I have a pink one blooming a short ways away.
Dad still thinks they are weeds and when he roto-tills,
he plows any little ones under that he can see.
I think they are pretty - I am glad this one blends in so maybe Dad won't yank it up . . .
