Sunflower

My sister gave us several sunflower seedlings a while back, and I think both my kids had brought home little sunflowers in plastic pots toward the end of the school year.

Bill planted them all in various spots around the yard – mainly in places where they wouldn’t shade out the important stuff – the vegetables – and we’ve been watching the sunflowers get taller and taller and taller.

I noticed this one yesterday while we were dealing with the wood pile.  Must have just bloomed because you can see that some of the petals still haven’t finished unfurling.  I really like this rust-colored one a lot.  I’m hoping there are more around that just haven’t bloomed yet.
