I am fascinated by the sunflower. This beauty grows anywhere from ten inches to ten feet tall. Several years ago, I planted seeds along the back wall of our home. Over the summer the seeds germinated and pushed through the soil. A huge sunflower head bloomed as the stem stretched taller than our one-story house. I'd not seen a sunflower so tall.
My grandsons love to chomp on sunflower seeds during their baseball games,
and I enjoy the seeds baked into bread.
I love seeing sunflowers blooming along the highway and in the fields.
Do you grow sunflowers?
