[PHOTO] sunflower


And just for the heck of it, here's a photo of a lovely sunflower
(Helianthus annus) growing just outside my frontdoor.  It's so great
because it's tall (about 7 ft.) and multi-branched with multi-headed blooms
on each branch.  This week I underplanted it with dutch irises & Golden Orb
calochortus, all of which ought to bloom next spring.

This variety of sunflower is the perfect "Indian Summer" flower...in my
humble opinion.

PS: That mailbox in the bottom corner has received many wonderful packages
of late thanks to many of you Iris-Talkers!  Thanks everyone!
