Saying Goodbye to My Sunflowers

[deenamr]

When I am driving home I can see my sunflowers from a quarter mile away welcoming me back. I am always sad to see them go - but already looking forward to next years.

Some great flowers!

Sorry you season has come to an end.

Thanks for sharing your pictures.

When the finches move in on the seed: I know it is time for the chickens to enjoy some of them, too.

I like bright flowers also. It's great to not have to slow to a stop, bend down, focus around the bifocals . . . to enjoy a bloom .

They are all so beautiful- definitely one of my favorites! I have only grown the mammoths and the ones from Boss, that the birds plant! Think spring!

If there were an Official Flower of all Flowers, I vote for the Sunflower!

Such is the face of a friend on a Sunny Day! :coolsun

Thank you for the lovely pictures!

If we weren't so overloaded with wild sunflowers I could probably appreciate them more. Or maybe ones that are planted on purpose are nicer. But we have a PLUTHERA of wild ones and they get to be a good 15-20' tall!

Really! I never knew there was wild sunflowers. Have any pictures of them?

Sure, I'll see about getting some pics tomorrow. They are on the way out for the season so look pretty scraggly but I think I saw some babies.....

It was so sad to see mine go too...

very happy to say I cut off the heads and they are happily dry and bagged waiting to be a cheap treat for the chickens through the winter to help with $$$ issues in those months.

Sunflowers are gorgeous, and a good investment.
