Sunflower


Sunflowers would definitely have to be one of my favourite flowers (right up there with roses and orchids!). I remember we had a row of sunflowers planted in the back garden of the first house I ever lived in. One of my earliest memories is of collecting sunflower seeds with my mum and grandmother (from memory the flowers were much too tall for me to reach) and baking them to eat.

To me, Sunflowers seem like the perfect summer flower, all bright and yellow and happy.  I've got a pack of seeds all ready to plant, just waiting for it to get a little warmer here in Melbourne!
