Mad Botanist or Genius? Hmmmmm?

Well, the experiment with the hollyhock seeds worked! Last week I was showing our eldest daughter some of the new plants we had put in. As I was checking on some of the bulbs I planted earlier I noticed some small plants poking out of the bark. Thinking they were weeds I started to pull them out. As I was getting ready to pull out the third one it dawned on me. The hollyhocks! I gently tried to transplant the two that had already been pulled and tossed on the ground at that point. Of course our daughter thought it was quite hilarious. I have to admit there were some chuckles of embarrassment that came out of me. It looks as if 99% of the seeds I had frozen and then planted have come up. As they get a bit bigger I'll post a picture. I think I'll go with genius on this one.
