Sunny Faces




  
Don't sunflowers just make you
smile?
































They look so happy with their bright, bold colors and plump, seed-packed centers.
The bees love 'em as much as I do.















































This year I've grown varieties other than just the mammoth type I usually have going.



















Summer just wouldn't be the same without 'em!

  1. The red one looks very pretty... do you know the name of that type of sunflower? I could plant that in my preschool next year.

  2. It's called "Evening Sun" (Helianthus annus). They get up to 6 feet tall! Sunflowers are a great project for preschoolers.
