Reaching New Heights. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

. . . . . . . . . . the smiling faces of the now tall sunflowers continue to face toward the east. 

My beauties, for some reason, don't turn to face the sun as it moves across

 the sky. . . . . . .instead they seem to enjoy the view down the street.

Each scorching day, when there's no rain, I'm out there giving them a

 gentle drink, watching the flowers unfurl, and of course taking photos.

Each one is so beautiful whether with fully opened ray flowers (yellow petals),
 or just peeping out from the bright green bracts. Love how they last so long, 

soaking up the heat and sunshine, preparing their awesome number of seeds

 for the bees now, later the birds. . . . . . .and possibly squirrels agile enough
 to climb and cling to them come autumn. 

I too will be gathering some of the seeds in hopes they will grow here in my
 garden next year. These have reached astounding heights, the tallest
are well over six feet!

Looks like the 'sunflower chronicles' are continuing - I just have to share them with you!

Previous recent posts of the sunflowers in my garden, if you missed them,

 are HERE and HERE.

Yesterday was a tad cooler, 91F, and the heavy rain Sunday evening

really helped the garden. Temperature climbing higher again today!

🌻 Enjoy the sunflowers of summertime 🌻
