Nothing like watching your work grow

sunflowersopening

It started as a seed, and took almost a month to get to full bud. Once it became a bud, and over the 5 days it took for it to go from full bud to bloom, I took a picture. It feels amazing to see that something I nourished, watered and cared for has become something so beautiful – and how quickly a bud became a full flower. For a while, I thought I wasn’t going to get them to survive (we had gophers trying to get to the roots, worms eating the leaves, and I had never tried to garden before). But, with a little work and effort, I can officially say that I raised a sunflower from seed to flower. Now, I can take the seeds that the flower will produce and save them to plant for next year, and each year after, so I will always have a bright yellow, 5 foot tall sunflower in my yard.

Hmm….wonder what else this could apply to?

    I think Sunflowers are the most optimistic of all the flowers. They are so bold. Good job.
