Two years ago in the fall, when visiting Colorado, I gathered some spent wild sunflowers from the roadside and eventually sprinkled the seeds in a section of my garden. Last spring some of the seeds sprouted, enough to replenish the plot for this spring. Now in the second year in my garden, they are going gang-busters. Our recent wind and rain storms have beaten them up. I shall have to figure out a way to bring them back to standing nicely. One precocious plant bloomed earlier than the rest; it is pictured below.
Sunflowers make me happy. Oh, is that why I ended up living in the Sunflower State?!?!
