Well, our first sunflowers to dry . . .
I love the fast burst of hello and goodbye, that only the sunflower has the power to wield.
The thousand seeds that each flower offers in its place . . .
The bird feast and promise of next spring . . .
A cycle so quick, please don't blink . . .
Or you might miss the sunflowers . . . .

I never got around to planting our sunflower seeds this year! I am very missing their cheerful yellow presence in our garden now it's summertime.
ReplyDeleteI have never had any luck with sunflowers. The critters always eat them first.
ReplyDeleteWhen we lived way out in the mountains, I had trouble growing anything from seed unless it was fenced. I think that is partly why I am so thrilled to finally plant everything : )
