NO, I am not talking about that S word. It’s a different S word. hee-hee!
When I went out to mow the lawn this morning I saw something that gave me such delight.
This beautiful sunny sunflower smiling down at me.
There were two that were really big. One was upright and one hung upside down.
I just kept snapping pics. I couldn’t get enough of them.
Notice how that huge wind we had about a week ago has almost uprooted this one?
I will probably pull it out and use the head for my Fall décor.
The best thing about these sunflowers. . .
They were free! This one seeded here from the house next door.
It is vacant. In May I noticed that a few sunflowers that the neighbors (The Langham’s that had rented the house) had planted the year before had reseeded.
I knew that without water they would just die.
So I decided to bring them on over.
Wasn’t sure if they would make it, because it was quite warm.
What a nice surprise! Thank you God, Mother Nature, and the Langham’s for my beautiful sunflowers.
They bring me such delight!

Fantastic! I love sunflowers and I love sunflower pictures!!
Jann, those sunflowers are huge, how come i've never noticed them before?
Hi Jann. Indeed these beauties give such smiles! I planted several in my garden a few years ago, and they were so fun. I did not plant any this summer, and wish now that I had. My feathered friends love the seeds too!!
Sunflowers just make you want to smile! We grew a whole field of them one year and used baskets and baskets of them for a Fall party. The following year I tried the same thing and the deer ate them all up before they even got 6" tall. :( Don't you just love volunteer plants? I will be delighted to share my seeds with you. When they have dried and are ready to ship I will get your address. xo
Love Sunflowers! I was looking at yours the other day and thinking wow! They are tall!
Jann, Your sunflowers are gorgeous. One of my summer favs. Your a great photographer, loved all your pics. Thanks for popping in. You have a great blog too.

I love sunflowers, they are one of my favorite. They look like big happy faces. I had one come up from seed this year unexpectedly. Those unexpected things are such a nice surprise:)

Those are huge. What a beautiful shot. Thanks for stopping by and leaving such a nice compliment.
Hi Jann,
Wow, they are beautiful! Such a sunny, happy yellow! Can't wait to see what you make of them for fall decor... Thank you for your gracious comments. My daughter had been collecting the hankies for a little while and decided to make something with them...she loves it!
Have a great weekend!
All the Best,
Christine
Those are the most unique looking flowers up close and so pretty. I have always liked sunflowers, and thank you for brightening my Saturday with them.

Sunflowers are so lovely. Volunteers feel special... like a garden fairy planted them just for the birds. Whether they are volunteers or 'on purpose' they are a delight and I love your pictures.

I love sunflowers! As a child I used to grow them for the fall fair but I never managed to get mine to grow that big!
