My inspiration for this month's illustration comes from my back yard. I am always fighting with hollyhocks because they try and grow in my garden where I don't want them. They are very hardy and almost impossible to kill. I actually like them but they consistently pop up in the most inopportune places.
The illustration shows the pod that forms after they flower. They are in the genus Alcea and I was tempted to call this month Alcea August but the name "Hollyhock" is just too cute not to use. Happy August!
