Sunflower
Day 207 / 365
Why does a farmer have to wear dark sunglasses?
Because he grows sunflowers.
Interesting Fact: Sunflowers are very fast growing plants, in the right conditions they can grow 8-12 feet (2.4 m – 3.7 m) tall in six months. As of 2012, the Guinness World Record for the tallest sunflower is 8.23 m (27 ft) for a sunflower grown in Germany. ( http://www.sciencekids.co.nz/sciencefacts/plants/sunflowers.html )

Great picture. I love sunflowers and am growing some of my own.
Thank you very much, and that’s amazing, I wish I had a backyard I would grow some too. š
And I thought one year that I had really tall ones at about 6ft. Never realized until then how heavy with seeds they were. Nice post.
That pretty tall. Thank you very much for sharing and stopping by. š
Inevitably sunflowers grow in my yard from fallen seed. We had so much rain it’s been a bumper crop year and the squirrels have already started attacking one for fresh seeds. š
Thank you for stopping by and sharing with us, I hope it will turn around for you. š
There’s something strangely captivating about this but I can’t put my finger on it right now. It makes me smile and that can only be good.
