I had a bumber crop of volunteer sunflowers come up in the yard this year. It’s been a lot of fun watching the plants shoot up all summer long. For the past three week, the blooms have been opening up–how we marveled at the slow release of the first one–one by one, and the subsequent appearance of bees, butterflies, and goldfinches have been a welcome next act of the late summer show.
I love sunflowers so much! I think I will plant them next year.
