I can't think of a better way to celebrate the fall season than with beautiful sunflowers.
These stunning orange and red sunflowers grew from seed next to my studio window.
They're lovely and soft in the early morning shade.
But when the sun moves higher in the sky, they really earn their name.
Sunflower!
The bees adore them.
And I adore them!
This is the first time I've had a bouquet of sunflowers from our garden.
I can hardly believe all this beauty came from the little seeds I dropped into the earth last spring.
I'm a neutral decor kind of gal,
but I love bringing all the deep jewel tones of autumn into my home.
What a perfect celebration of fall!
What a wonderful way to start the day looking at all that sunshine on a stem! :-) Gorgeous pictures!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful sunflower! Would you mind my posting a couple of those photos to a closed flower garden group I belong to in the hope someone can tell me what it is called?
ReplyDeleteActually, with your permission, I will just share the link as the photos are all so lovely :-)

Oh my goodness, I LOVE the color of those!!! They are gorgeous! My mom grew some several years ago, but not that color. Those are fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteI love sunflowers. Maybe next year I can find me some seeds and grow some. They look so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThey are so beautiful: I wish I had room here to grow some. They really bring the sun inside and they last forever too!
ReplyDeleteHappy Days!
