RE: Sunflowers

Barb, I share your joy and wonder!  One of the things that amazed me when I
first was gardening was the precise symmetry of the sunflower seed heads.
My son was majoring in biology at the time in college and he commented that
in his studies he was finding the same thing -- that we indeed have an
awesome God of order!

For mine is a little old-fashioned garden where the flowers come
together to praise the Lord and teach all who look upon them to do
likewise.

I AM in shape.  ROUND is a shape!
