My sunflowers have started smiling at me.
I planted the seeds in mid June, so they got a late start. They should be twice as tall as they are, but they must have figured they were behind schedule and it was better to bloom now than never.
Years ago in Germany, I loved driving next to the fields of sunflowers with their faces shining in the sun. Each year while watching the tour de france, I look forward to the scene of the cyclists riding past the fields.
I have never achieved such a fabulous display, but even one small sunflower makes me smile back.
