I can’t help myself bragging about my sunflower garden. Well, it wasn’t planned to be like this, but after series of heavy rains, only my sunflowers endured enough to flourish. Unlike my cherry tomatoes, that were completely destroyed by cruel weather, sunflowers managed to overcome all the difficulties they were faced with during their growing period. Besides weather circumstances, there were my playful, yet reckless dogs, who really liked to rush through my garden, while chasing each other. Or cats that liked to sunbath in it, preferably lying down on the newly grown plants. As you can see, the life of my sunflowers wasn’t easy at all….
Some plants (unfortunately) were destroyed in the process, but those who survived are the real sight for the sorrow eyes. And more. Sunflowers have always been my favorite flowers. That’s maybe because I’m leo, but it also may be because I prefer yellow flowers. Besides their beauty, they are useful, too. Dried and baked sunflower seeds one of the most favorite snack here, although I prefer pumpkin seeds. That’s why I am going to give all my sunflowers to my nephew. He has a parrot and if he gives all to the bird, it might grow to a size of a turkey. Just kidding, of course. 😀

I love this wonderful color, but the sun flower.
These are my favourite flowers and I am so happy because my garden was full of them, this summer. 🙂
Next year, sunflowers will also be in my garden
That’s an awesome plan. 🙂 I support your decision. 🙂
I sunflower is a very beautiful plant
You’re right. 🙂 This is my favourite flower. 🙂
If I had sunflowers like that I would brag on them too! When I was little the family grew lots of them for seed, but I don’t have room in my tiny yard for even one sunflower now.
Thanks, now I feel less conceited. 😀 This is the first time that I have a garden, big enough to grow some plants. 🙂
Congratulations on a big enough garden now Zaklina. I had quite a vegetable garden growing indoors under grow lights at one time (cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, eggplant, and all kinds of salad greens) but when I moved I put them all in storage and have not gotten them out yet.
This summer was full of heavy rains, so my tomatoes didn’t make. But I am pretty satisfied with cucumbers and pumpkins. 🙂
Ever since I saw the movie “Sunflower” with Sophia Loren, I have a fascination with sunflowers.
Sounds like a good reason. 😀 I’ve never seen this movie, but Sophia is the legend. 🙂
Adore sunflowers!!! The photos of your little suns are magnificent!!!
Thanks, Anastasia. 🙂 They look better in the garden, than on my pictures, though…. 😀
I love sunflowers, I can’t grow them here in the trailer park because they get too big,
They really get too big. 🙂 Sunflowers are my own suns in the garden. 🙂
that picture is too out of focus for me to determine if it is a bee or not
Oh, yes. 😀 Somehow, I managed to make it blurry, maybe because of all those bees on the flowers. Not a fan of stingy insects around my head….. 😀
yeah, I can see where that would be an issue
Your photo of sunflowers looks awesome.
Thanks. 🙂 My sunflowers looks even better in the garden, than they look like on the photo. 🙂
I like sunflower..His seeds are healthy and I often eat them.
Not to mention how healthy is as a substitute for unhealthy snacks, such as chips of all kinds. 🙂
Sunflowers are like a ray of sunshine, as I always say.
And you’re always right. 🙂
I know that sunflower is a strong plant and survivor. It’s just that I have not seen the plants around for quite a long time. I love the seeds, if you remember, I’ve posted them.
Yes, I remember your post. 🙂 Last year, back in town, only one sunflower grew to its fullest potential. That’s why I’m so happy for having a garden full of those magnificent plants now. 🙂
Very understandable. Of course, it is very nice to have beautiful flowers that live well around us.
I hope to make some progress in order to make a nice peace of garden for the next year. 🙂
Nice post.
Last year I had a sunflower about 3 meters high.
What?! I didn’t know it can grow so big. Mine are a half of that monster of yours height. 😀
