Description

I have this bucket of dirt I use out by the pool to throw butts into. I call it my Butt Bucket. Its been a bucket of dirt for about 3 years now.. Well this year I kept picking the little weeds in it.. But I kept ignoring one little weed..I had no idea what it was. So let it grow.. Well a few days ago I notice this flower pearched on top. Again.. I dont know what kind of flower it is..??? Shot in full sun on macro. Effects in PS7

It's a sunflower; they don't all grow big when they come from birdseed. Great shot; beautiful yellow, Cathy!!!!! #156598

Great shot and story Cathy, Butt I think everyone has used up all the butt jokes. #698858

Mary K. Robison August 10, 2004

Not really, Stacey... :)
Cathy, I'm impressed by the persistence of both you and the little one to END up with this, BUTT, shot the way it is in macro, we all ASSUME the black background BEHIND its enlarged size has added to its appeal. #698871

What a great shot of this well known "Butt Flower". They grow very slowly....BEHIND most other variety of bucket beauties!

Just had to add to the humor here!
