My dear and departed friend Albert once took it upon himself to strew hollyhock seeds far and wide in the barren yard of my first house. He knew I like low maintenance flora, and hollyhocks grow well in the high desert without much assistance. I collected the seeds from those plants before I sold that house... and held onto them before settling in this place.
As I start to think about my next transition, which will likely be out of NM, one of the things on my to-do list is to harvest seeds from these plants, to keep a living memory of Albert close at hand and at heart.
Namaste.
