Sunflowers and fall


The sunflowers are drying on their stalks, and turning brown.
So I clipped some to display this way and enjoy while they dry.
To then shred the petals and dry more thoroughly so next spring again I can plant a nice big area of this minature sunflowers.
They don't droop as much as the big big sunflowers.
It's a fun fall thing to do.
I've enjoyed the sunflowers on the stalk, cut in a vase,
and now drying on the table.
And next spring I will plant them, and enjoy them all over again next summer and fall.

This is on my next Spring plant list. This first year forgot about them. I love putting them in a vase. Just ordered the new stamp with the Sunflower on it.
Thanks again for your kind comments to me.

You can also leave some outdoors for the birds to enjoy during winter.
