Sunflowers are really something: they can grow almost out of no dirt at all and still produce these big beautiful flowers. Plus, I like to eat their seeds. What's not to like?
That shows the difference in climate between where you are, M@ko, and where I am: sunflowers have not even started being more than tiny baby stems here - they are typical late summer flowers.
Again I like the fact that this is a bud (with bug), still holding this promise that all buds hold.
ooo, I missed this before, M @ k o! I just love it - one of my favorite flowers, anyway, and I'm a sucker for these "budding" kinds of shots. Nice tight crop, and sharp-sharp-sharp. :thumbup:
