Sunflowers ...

I love sunflowers

they are just so big and bright

and they just bring a feeling of happiness

 

I've tried so many times to grow them but as soon as they start

sprouting, the birds get to them.

 

This year I planted seeds in some of my flower pots

on the deck

and they came up great....no birds tampering with them!!
they are the mini sunflowers....so cute!
and as soon as I saw a flower was going to happen, I started
snapping a picture every couple of days

so here you go......my first mini sunflower!

ohhh look, a little flower is forming

 

 

and now she's starting to open up....

 

and today so beautiful

look at the swirl in the middle of the sunflower

God sure does some amazing work huh?

 

now if just a few more will open up, I'll cut them

and put in a pretty crystal vase!!

 

later.....
