The ones I'm intending for most flowers are taken from a bag of birdseed. ;) I had a volunteer under my bird feeder that had 14 flowers at the same time. Makes perfect sense when you think about it - if the seed company is growing solely to produce seed, that means more flowers!! (y) See the female goldfinch helping herself to the fresh seeds? :D :love:

The ones I'm hoping to enter for charismatic cuties are one of the varieties of red/orange ones. I ordered them online, and have forgotten the type they said they were. :whistle: :oops:

This sounds like fun! I have planted sunflowers a few times this year. But they keep getting knocked over by neighborhood dogs. :mad:

Now all I need to do is quit lurking and get to commenting so I have 50 posts!
