Perennial

This is the latest addition to my balcony. I have no idea what kind of flower it is. I've dropped all kinds of different seeds into this pot since the mint that once lived there died.

I remember some of the seeds were Texas bluebells, but these aren't blue. I don't remember what else I've tossed in there.

They've shot up quite happily, though, since they started getting water and sunshine regularly this spring. I suspect in a perfect world the plant might want a mite less sunshine, which floods my balcony. But the plant is huge as is, so I'm not too worried.

Those look like hollyhocks to me.

Well, Mom seems to agree, so I'll go with whatever the crowd says. Names are arbitrary anyhow, right?
