    I do love your red sunflowers Carolyn. They look stunning in a garden and are a nice change from the usual yellow ones.

    Thanks Eileen. I was just as surprised with them myself. I was also very pleased to see the color as it is different than the usual yellow.

    What's that yellow flower in that gorgeous first photo?
    I too really like that red sunflower. Which reminds me... why didn't I plant any sunflowers this year? :headscratch:

    I recognized the fennel, but had no clue that was a sunflower! :eek:

    Cheryl, sorry, I have no idea what variety this one is. I didn't keep the envelope.

    Thanks, Tina.

    Your first sunflower looks like a teddybear sunflower.

    Carolyn, Thanks for sharing. Now I know what mine would have looked like if the woodchucks hadn't ate them.

    I really liked this set of foto's that you posted. The sunflowers and the bees--nice to see.
    I reckon that the weather there has improved a bit, right?
