I'm back from a much needed blogging break...
The sunflowers in my garden are just spectacular. I'm always amazed that so much beauty can come from a simple seed. Some of sunflowers barely grow and produce tiny, delicate flowers. Others grow taller than my house and produce huge flowers and/or multiple flowers. One single stalk in my garden has over 20 blooms on it!
When I saw this particular sight one morning last week, I was struck by the fact that I wait all year for this exact sight. I save my seeds and dream about planting them all winter. In the spring I eagerly wait for the danger of frost to pass so I can plant. Once the seeds are planted, I check daily to see what growth may have occurred. And then when the plants start growing, I get so excited. Finally.... after months and months of dreaming, waiting and watching...I get to see them bloom!
