~SUNFLOWERS~

Sunflowers, such happy flowers, they can't but help put a smile on your face... they stand tall and erect, as watchmen over the garden...sunflowers are a favorite of our feathered friends as well as backyard chipmunks and squirrels...my sunflower travelled all the way from Bakersfield, California...it arrived as a seed, a packet of seeds sent from my dear blogging friend Kim. Kim grows the most beautiful sunflowers in her Field Of Dreams. This sunflower is a symbol of friendship and kindness from one friend to another. And such a lovely way to put a smile on this friends face...

You are so sweet, I am just thrilled they grew all the way in Maine. I was looking at my tired sunflowers and thinking I needed to start gathering seeds for next year. Before they quit blooming and I don't know what colors I have. I have some really lovely black ones and some bronze ones and some red ones. Now that I know they grow in Maine. *wink, wink*
That is a very nice picture

Beautiful! I have a small bed of "Music Box" (dwarf) sunflowers in front of the chicken coop. And some sad looking taller varieties growing in the bigger garden. I wonder what variety that is in your pic.. so pretty! -Tammy

They really are a happy flower. Almost like a daisy on steroids. Bigger, bolder and louder. Love them!
