I looked these up and I think they are pink Hollyhocks. they are towering over the driveway of a home not to far from us.
Althaea rosea Pink Hollyhocks is what I found...here on The Garden Pages the thing is they have been blooming like this for at least 2 months maybe more.

So pretty, Sandra... I have always loved Hollyhocks. Those are the prettiest colors... Thanks for sharing.

These are glorious. What a welcome sight since everytime I look out the window it is snow and gloomy. Oh, these hollyhocks are beautiful. I have grown them but they were never that pretty nor did they last that long.
Very pretty hollyhocks, I'm very allergic to them :(
I love Hollyhocks. They bring back so many memories of my childhood.
Wow! Those are awesome! Lets see....we have....SNOW and bare trees. Oh and we"re getting more snow Saturday..."a substantial amount"...here that means only 6-12...:)JP

Who-hooooo... Beautiful. We both remember hollyhocks, but haven't had them, in way too long. :-) Maybe, this year.
I do LOVE hollyhocks and these are lovely, Sandra!
One of my favorite flowers. So old fashioned. And you can make dolls out of them.
Beautiful! Those hollyhocks are especially pretty in that bright pink. A welcome sight to those of us up north, it's rainy and windy here today with possible snow flurries by Saturday.
those hollyhocks are beautiful...love the close ups...makes me smile...
very pretty, vibrant color!
Very nice pictures. I do love the old fashioned hollyhocks but the newer "carnation" look alike are nice too...:)
Gosh I opened that and that beautiful flower just popped out an me - I so needed that! Sandie
I'm not good at names of flowers but I know pretty and these are it.
Yep, they're hollyhocks but they seem to be some ruffled variety. One of my favorite flowers. With the amount of buds on them I'll bet they'll keep blooming for a long time.
These are all so gorgeous. How cool that are nearby.
Wowzers those are beautiful. I think it will be quiet a while before I see any flowers blooming outside.
Blessings,

Yes, they are Hollyhocks, and fancy fringed ones! The hollyhocks around here have these shiny gold beetles with long noses like an elephant's trunk. I call them goldbugs. These are gorgeous!! Ours will not bloom till summer.
Oh my, I haven't thought about Hollyhocks in years. My dad raised them on the east side of the garage. Wonder if they are still there? Thanks for the memory!
Woof! Woof! They are beautiful ... LOVE the color. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
Oh, these are gorgeous...I have a picture of one this color. I have a friend whose husband has really pink, pink hollyhocks planted all around their fuel tank.
These are so pretty! I would love to have some in my yard! I think I will write the name down to remember. :) You took some great close-ups!
They are lovely. Can't wait to see some colours like that around here again... (I'll have to wait a while longer though)
One of my favorite memories as a little girl at Granma's---standing and looking up at the Hollyhocks in the morning sun--love them!
Beautiful! Love the color!
Love the shot of the little buds about to burst. Well I do love them all. You always find the most interesting things to show us.
Thanks.
Love the close-ups of the frilly looking hollyhocks. They must be a cheerful sight to see along your way and they are certainly flourishing there.
Hollyhocks remind me of days long gone and pick fences. You are so fortunate to live around such beautiful color and interesting birds and critters.
these are such beautiful flower shots, sandra! you did capture them at nice angles. and the colour is so lovely too. that photo of the little buds is my favourite.
