i have some very special gardening news to share with everyone. 6 sunflowers blossomed overnight! oh my! i am so very happy and excited!!! This is wonderful! this is the most sunflowers that have ever blossomed over night!!! i am hyped up!!! i am just amazed! i was greeted by 6 happy sunflower smiles this morning! Hi there sunflowers! Welcome! Its so very nice to meet you! good morning! i greeted the sunflowers with a smile! i introduced myself to the sunflowers. i am in sunflower heaven! i didnt expect this many sunflowers to blossom overnight! i didnt know if the sunflowers would have blossomed over night especially after the severe storms. The sunflowers surprised me!!! awww! The first 2 sunflowers i found blossomed were right in my moms peace flower garden. i went over there quickly today because i saw a tomato plant needed my support. i supported the tomato plant with support sticks and a support stake and then checked the garden areas and i saw 2 smiling sunflowers peaking at me! peekaboo sunflowers! i see you! oh my! those sunflowers are so very cute!!! theres a tall sunflower and a small sunflower and the way they blossomed together! its wonderful sight to see! These sunflowers had some rough times earlier this gardening season. Theres 3 of them growing together and they survived harsh rains and winds and the sunflowers needed support often but they continued to grow. their journeyss continued! and now on this sweet day after such a severe weather day yesterday these sunflowers welcome in a new day with new hope and new sunflower smiles! Its my favorite sight to see in the garden. blossomed sunflowers! i was walking around the yard checking the plants. i walked over to the sunflower field of hope and unfailing faith and i was greeted by 4 more sunflower smiles!!!! oh my!!! hi there sunflowers! i see you smiling! oh my! You are shining! Its incredible to see! one of the sunflowers is a citrus variety sunflower. It blossomed right next to the other citrus sunflower that blossomed yesterday! they are about the same height! beautiful sunflowers! The next sunflower i found is a sunflower that is growing in a planter in sunflower row. The sunflower is smiling! each sunflower is very special and unique. The next sunflower i discovered is growing in the area where i planted lots of sunflower seeds that i recieved from friends. i planted about 20 sunflowers in this area. Its in the sunflower field of hope and unfailing faith. Its so very special to my family and i having plants growing in our yard and garden that are from friends. You all made this gardening season so very extra special and the most wonderful gardening season weve ever had and theres still lots of gardening season to look forward too! The next sunflower i discovered really surprised me! oh my!!! a burgundy sunflower!!! this is amazing! i have never seen a full burgundy sunflower before! oh my! i am so very surprised! this is awesome!!! The sunflower is growing in sunflower row and is the fantasix mix sunflower that has 7 sunflowers growing on its stem and branches. Its one of the most amazing sights ive ever seen! i am amazed! i looked a few times just to make sure my eyes werent playing tricks on me! after a couple minutes it set in oh my! theres a burgundy sunflower in our garden! this is wonderful! a beautiful sunflower! i climbed over the fence that is around the sunflower field of hope and unfailing faith and i had my camera oh my! i was taking pictures! The sunflowers burgundy petals were dark. i didnt know if i should take picture with the flash on or off. i take most of my pictures with the flash off as when there is nice sunshinelight the camera works well without the flash on. i took a few pictures 2 without flash off and 1 with flash on. As i was standing there in the garden i noticed sun was continuing to try to peak through the clouds. i waited a moment and a little amount of sunshine beamed through i took picture and got a nice picture of the sunflower showing its burgundy petals. Its incredible! We have never seen a sunflower like this before! i am amazed! each day i am surprised so much by the plants. 6 new sunflower friends have arrived! This is wonderful! Sunflowers! You are here! You have arrived! Your journeys are complete! You all are very special and beautiful sunflowers! This is a picture of the burgundy sunflower. i dedicate this sunflower to my ds sis Jennay listless and Tom and Clarke and their entire family. The trio of love! sunflower hope and unfailing faith.
