Thank you. I love how sunflowers 🌻 follow the sun. Farmers here grow them to aid their oil to diesel fuel—creating bio-diesel.

That’s a whole lot of beautiful David. I remember growing a field of sunflowers when young and on the farm. It was a wonder to see the heads following the sun each day.

We keep a patch of sunflowers in our backyard every summer for the same reason. Thanks for reading and sharing, Gary!

Thank you, Betty. A farmer friend, who grows sunflowers, said it’s really hard to irrigate them. They don’t like to grow in neat rows. Rain is the key.
