No wonder that a bouquet with three sunflowers and some field herbs around them is so expensive ($5) at the flower vendors. Everybody likes them.
These in the photo are giant sunflowers that grow on the field reaching over 2.5 m in height. They don't need any care except the help of the busy, little bees.
From the seeds of these healthy flowers my favorite oil will be produced in autumn.
Did you know that sunflowers can be used to extract toxic chemicals from soil, such as lead, arsenic and uranium?
Have you seen my Teddy bear sunflower?

Nothing says summer like sunflowers. Maia, the detail in your photos is amazing.
Those are beautiful!! {and I can't believe a bouquet of them costs that much!}
Oh boy, I messed up the conversion big time. It's 5 not 50, thanks Katie.
Beautiful Sunflowers!!
Just took my first sunflower photos today but they came out nothing like yours. A do-over is in the works for sure. Thanks for inspiring! Beautiful photos!
I adore these giant sun flowers. They grow well here in Auckland.
Sunflowers make me smile - they do seem to be happy!
Sunflowers are such happy plants. You can't help but smile. Lovely photos :-)
