    Great photos. I had some sunflowers grow from underneath the bird feeder and the bees sure love them!

    thank you :) these sunflowers are from bird seed of my moms she had one grow through the fence last year so thought we would give them a try and see what happened we are hoping with the bees we will get seed from them for next year
