The Sunflower

   

 

   Most everyone has some memories of growing sunflowers.  As a child you are simply amazed at how tall they are. Then come those giant sunflower heads. They are gigantic!  Yes, they are something special.  After we took this picture of the kids holding the head, we allowed the birds to have a feast by devouring  the seeds.

   I recall playing golf up near Ostego, Michigan at the Hidden Valley Resort several years back.  We passed a large field of sunflowers grown as a crop -- what a beautiful sight.  They stood at attention -- facing the warm sun -- awaiting further instructions.  After our round of golf, we drove passed the same field and yes, they all had turned their heads around in the opposite direction.  What attentive plants!
