Isn't This Gorgeous?



I called my mother this morning and she told me that I needed to get my sunflowers today before they were all destroyed. Not only have the squirrels been having a feast on the seeds, but today the birds started in on them too. My mom said that just from this morning to this afternoon, the birds ate up a lot of the sunflower petals.



My mom's favorite flowers are zinnias.



I spent a nice few hours this afternoon with my parents. I picked some flowers from the garden and enjoyed some good conversation. And now I have my favorite flowers in a vase in my apartment.

Sometimes, I'm such a city boy. I had no idea sunflowers ever got to be that color. Very beautiful.

I'm with your mom. You can't beat old-fashioned zinnias for bold, showy, audacious color in a garden. And they are so hardy, too. They just stand straight up and look ostentatious.
