Upon returning home from my flowerday at work, I found this charming portrait on the garden bench yesterday afternoon.

Made by Henk with leaves from ginkgo, jasmine, olive and hollyhocks, which he found on the ground in the front yard.

The hollyhocks outside between the paving and the bougainvillea inside the kitchen window.

Enjoy these beautiful and long june days!

Never in my life I've seen so many hollyhocks as on Ile de Ré.

Blooming in all possible colors all over the island. So sumptuously!
