Denise Fiedler Floral Collage - Rectangle / Plum Hollyhock

This original collage by paper artist Denise Fiedler depicts a plum hollyhock on a rectangular handmade paper. This popular ornamental garden plant, known for its height and brightly coloured flowers, represents fertility and ambition. The roots of the hollyhock were historically used for medicine and the stems still make for quality firewood!
