ID needed??

Can anyone identify this flower. The stalks it grows on are HUGE! The ones I saw where almost 6 ft tall. Many different colors, but this one blew me away. It is a much deeper red, but this pic was taken with my iPhone.

Those are Hollyhocks! my grandma and mom used to grow them every year when I was young. They're herbacious re-seeding annuals. Thats a really pretty one.

That is a Hollyhock and a very pretty one. You can collect the seed and plant more next year.
