| Another view of the "tall one..." |
The best sunflower ever.... I wrote a post sometime ago about these flowers...
I wish I could go to a field of sunflowers and watch them follow the sun... I thought that I would revisit my old post and add some to it and repost!
Native to the Americas-
These happy face flowers are annuals. They like late spring to be planted.
Warm weather and soil are their vice for success..
I usually see them popping up from the bird seeds that is given to the menagerie of birds that visit every morning...
So I am usual quite happy to see the volunteers all around my yard...
It just means that my backyard is full of life, that makes me just as happy as the flowers that visit... (and also make the birds happy as well.)
Heliotropism- to follow the sun. This flower has a misconception, these flowers do not follow the sun. They typically face East then turn towards the west . Sometimes the littler flowers or young buds and leaves orient themselves towards the sun.
I pretty much think that every one knows what to do with these flowers, from vases, to eating the seeds or using the oil...
It is like they are their own reality... I am here see me flower!!! lol
The past couple of days it has been quite cloudy, and I noticed that the sunflowers couldn't follower the sun... But today is hot and sunny and they are more than extremely happy!!! Well, me too!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY RYLEE......
So my daughter turned 17 on July 12...
Well, I hope that this bring some sunshine to those that are in the middle of the rains....
The happiest flower of the garden...
