Yeah Brical1's got them both. Classic cottage garden plants because they self seed easily and will come back year after year. I have several different colours in the Hollyhocks, and they come in double flowers as well. Hollyhocks are actually short lived perennials bit are most often treated as annual or biennial depending on how quickly you can get them up to flowering size. The seed is easy to gather and they are fun to grow either in seedling pots or directly in ground.

Here is a picture of one of mine taken a few weeks ago. The plant is a bit wonky because they grew leaning away from the shade of the fence, but the flowers are lovely.
