Sunflowers

Nothing says summer quite like a sunflower.  Lovely composites,  made of many florets.  I let these grow from the bird feeder this year, along with a florist bouquet that I planted with flowers ranging from reds and oranges.  I look forward to seeing their smiling faces.  There’s nothing more cheerful.   In fact, this weekend while driving along the Illinois Tollway, I spotted a few growing in the cracks of the toll station!  That being said, these guys are great for guerrilla gardening.   This is the first in my garden, surely more to come!
