Great job Peaches! I didn't know that is what a sunflower looks like in the beginning! We had them when I was a kid, but that is too long ago to remember! #4505319

Nancy (Peaches) Harker July 13, 2007

Thanks so very much Carol. I almost didn't think to take a photo of the bud, I went to get the field. Happen to look down and this big bud was staring right at me, the ONLY one I took.
Guess it was meant for me to do this series ehehehee #4505333
