Thank you, Eugi! I had fun framing the flowers against the setting sun. The bokeh effect was a bonus!

Lovely sunflowers Terri. I’m surprised I don’t see more here, but perhaps I’m just looking in the wrong places.

Thank you, Graham. I thought they grew everywhere. Maybe in drier areas?

Lovely sunflowers, Terri. It’s going to be 82 degrees here as well. I planted the sunflower seeds at the wrong spot this year. I know what I’ll do next year, and I saw Giant sunflower seeds at New Seasons. Planting these seeds will be my next year’s project. I’ll find out more about your new challenge in October. 😊🍁

Thank you, Miriam! We’re having the same weather too! Good luck with next year’s sunflowers. Somehow, even if I didn’t plant any, I’d still have a lot!

How did it happen? Did the sunflowers reseed from the previous year?
LikeLiked by 1 person
Some did, but the birds eat them then fly over and poop 😆 In winter I also throw a lot of the black oil sunflower seeds on the snow. I’m sure pop up that way too.

Oh! Perhaps I sould buy the giant sunflower seeds now and throw a bunch in the soil and see what happens.
