I'm envious of your Garden, Mattalo.

Ooooh... you mentioned Hollyhocks. I got given some of those, and put them in the Huge Pot. They grew an impressive canopy of big leaves, but didn't produce any flowers. Eventually they died back, and I'm hoping they've self-seeded (certainly something appears to be growing back). Is this normal behavioir ? I know some plants only flower in the second year or so ?

I'm not certain on this but I think it depends on when you planted these, they may not flower until the following year if you planted them late, unsure if you were given them in seed or plant form. I have grew some from seed this year, coming on ok but unsure if they will flower this year or next

I thought an echinaceas was a south-american donkey, and hemerocallis a type of camel

?

They certainly SOUND like they should be !

This must be quite an education for you in that case :-)

Oh, every day Mattolo, every day.

I'm not into decorative flowers so much, but I must say that your garden looks fabulous.

I'm amazed at KC's use of space as well.

Both, in different ways, are just a symphony of colour and shade.

I look around the Roofgarden, and I am envious of both of you !

How do you get the pots to stick to the tiles?
