reds

All my sunflowers are yellow except for a few are red. Every summer and fall a summer tanager comes to my bird feeder. The female is the only one that comes.

bush

Here is our butterfly bush that is crisp right now but it was so pretty when it did have blooms.My junior sunflowers are making their multiple heads.

birds

On our trip I saw seventeen new birds, that includes a Golden Eagle! We also saw a steller's jay. a white faced ibis, a gad wall duck, a American pipit, a pine siskin, a pinon jay, and a mountain bluebird. One of my sunflowers seeds are about harvest-able.

look how big

This is my biggest sunflower. One of my sunflowers crashed in the big rain last night, so we cut the head of and stuck it in a vase. I saw a rare hawk today, a Northern Harrier.

My sunflowers are so big! They are the Russian giant type. Ive had them for 6 months. I sure love them.
