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!

  2. 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.

  9. 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.....

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