I found these lovely flowers in the compost heap at the community garden. What a treasure. It's an autumn arrangement. The bouquet contains: rose mallow, rose hips, calendula, feverfew, dill weed, and rhubarb leaf.
Hollyhocks are such a hardy old-fashioned flower. Holly hocks originate in the middle east and are found almost everywhere around the world. They symbolize fruitfulness or ambition.
