The sunflower has always been one of my absolute favorite flowers. They just look happy. I’ve had dune sunflowers for a good four, or five years, but the sunflower, I can’t tell you when.
My daughter and I have been looking for the perfect flower for a particular spot in the garden and saw this, and well, it went right in the cart.
This morning a male monarch butterfly was resting, and walking on my new addition.
I will always love the sunflower. Another that popped up from Hurricane Ian that was not planted.
It’s been truly amazing to see how resilient the native plants in my butterfly garden were after Hurricane Ian. It’s also pretty spectacular to see new flowers pop up that I did not plant. I am convinced Hurricane Ian blew some sunflower seeds into my garden as I now have a few growing. This sunflower opened this morning showing its grand beauty. There is just something special about the gorgeous flower.
