"Sunflower Man" Living Art

I admit that I am a "sunflower nut". This year I was blessed to have so many reign over my gardens. Next year I plan to grow even more.

I dubbed this cluster of sunflowers "the sunflower man". It loomed over my deck and dominated my back yard since early July. The cluster is 2 plants, one single head, and one multiple wildflower variety. Ultimately it reached over 12 feet from the garden 4 feet below deck.

At one point it seemed to have a full set of features - eyes, nose, arms... It was way over my head in full bloom. One night I asked it if it was a "Sunflower God". I half expected it to come to life and talk to me. It may have been an evening I indulged in a Lemon Drop or 2.

"Subject: I LOVE YOUR WEBSITE!

My sister Karen sent your website to me today. Alas, I have found another person whose home looks like a nursery!
See the pics she sent here.

Thanks for your hints! I have two grown daughters but my flowers are my "babies".
