Yellow – The Colour of Sunshine…
I don’t know what it is about sunflowers but they do seem to excite visitors from Northern Europe, it is probably the spectacle of thousands of happy waving heads in contrast to the solitary one or two that we grow in our own gardens usually with disappointing weedy results. This is because as their name suggests they need the sun and that is something that is not too plentiful or reliable in England.

love yellow, love sunflowers too, nostalgic memories of holidays in gites in Indre et Loire and Normandy in the late 80s and early 90s with our 3 children. Bikes, chateaux, cheese, swimming lakes and the ubiquitous SUNFLOWERS!
thanks for the memories!

There is just something about sunflowers – rather like dolphins – they always excite us!

I love the ones in Southern California whose seed heads grow the size of large dinner plates. We have the same problem growing those here in the north.

Wonderful aren’t they? My granddaughters planted one each in my garden. It was July and really too late so I wasn’t terribly optimistic but they have grown to about two feet high and have both produced a lovely bright yellow flower!

a field full of sunflowers always makes me smile – and reminds me of the first time I saw so many together – in southern Greece 🙂
