Sunflowers On Main Street


 I found these cheery, yellow sunflowers blooming on Main Street,
in a pretty little town near me.


And around on the corner on 5th Street, too. 


I sure do love sunflower time of year!

    I love sunflowers! Thanks for sharing! Funny, the neighbors on each side of me have sunflowers in their gardens...I'd better get with the program! :-)

      Sounds like you might need to plant a few sunflowers, too. :-)

    I also love sunflowers and I have one that comes up each summer. Next summer I am going to plant the giant sunflowers - birds love them also.
    Thanks for sharing - they always look so happy.

      Sunflowers, daisies and zinnias all have that spirit lifting power. :-)

    I have been seeing them pop out around here. They are our state flower. They are the prettiest weeds out in the fields and ditches!!

    They seem to grow well here in Canada too. Have never seen so many Sunflowres growing in Gardens as I have here......it's been lovely. I must get ready to plant some when I get home as I missed out on doing so last Summer.....

      Some varieties are really tall. And others (like the wild sunflowers that are our state flower) are shorter and have several blooms per stem.

    I wish we would have planted them this year. Everything else seemed to take priority. I miss those lovely blooms in our yard. I have silk sunflower wreath. I wonder where that got tucked away? Gorgeous photos!
