Mellow Yellow Sunflower



I took this photo a few years ago. Unfortunately my sunflowers did not fare as well this year. First we had a ground hog (or two or three) that loved the taste of tender young sunflower plants, then we had a couple that were well on their way to becoming big, beautiful plants when a windstorm broke the stems right off. Oh well, there's always next year!!!

The sunflower is such a cheerful blossom that it's no wonder that we all love it. I hope your day is filled with sunshine.
