Sunflowers

Our sunflowers have been very productive this year! The heads are drooping under their weight, and our tallest one comes in at about 10′ 4″.
A very happy bee.
This one is almost ready for drying. We’ll have to keep an eye on it and claim it before the birds do!
I’m only 5’4″ – it’s fun to know the tallest one is almost TWICE my height!!

Thanks! Even during those gray rainy days of the end of summer, they shine through, making them shining beacons of happiness.
