Winter-withered hollyhock

Posted on January 13, 2015 by Katrina W

This hollyhock must have been still in bloom when the first frost hit. I was surprised it was all withered up and yet still had color in the petals.

  Yes, it was a surprise to find that hint of pink in a brown and white environment. I’ve tried to process it a couple of times and didn’t like how it came out. Once I realized the neutral colored background was still too much of a distraction everything went much better. 🙂
