I bet you can't wait for it to open, Mary :-)The second bird in my picture is the 'sculpture' the Bronzwing is sitting on. At least we call it a bird ;-) #1620809

Barbara, this is another "at the grocery store" (actually a Big Box store - hence, the photo's title) capture. It was taken in March, so it's highly unlikely that any part of it is alive and thriving! :-)Douglas Pignet June 13, 2015
Lovely capture and colors #11317229frank w. degenhardt June 13, 2015
That is the way it works when we go to stores. I have become so use to having my little cannon with me where ever I go. Gorgeous colors and textures fill the page with there beauty. Love the lighting to that looks like it is outdoors. Love it my friend. #11317283R. J. Laudenbacher June 13, 2015

I thought for a moment you were already seeing blooming sunflowers!! I feel a bit better knowing this is a "store variety"! Wonderful capture, Mary!! My flowers are all blooming earlier than normal this year, but still no blooming sunflowers here! Can't wait!! #11317675Patrick Rouzes June 14, 2015

Economy size? You mean you only need one to fill the whole garden, Mary? HA! And what a beauty it is. I would love to have them in my little garden - well, actually one would really be enough :) #11320187Laura E. Swan June 23, 2015
What a beauty, Mare! I think this is such an exciting time in a flowers life. When it is still formulating and almost ready to open and mature and say hello to the world. They are at that "Get ready for me" moment! Really lovely! :))) -Pommy #11322387Tiia Vissak June 28, 2015
