A Flower Blooms for Christmas

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Ellison Realty 352-209-4044

This beautiful sunflower started to open yesterday and is in full bloom today.  I just love it!  One of the birds that raided my vegetables during the summer must have dropped it.  I wonder if they'll come back when the seeds are ripe.  For now I'll just enjoy the beauty and share it with you.  Merry Christmas and may your business blossom throughout the year

Ahhh, how beautiful and warm it must be in Ocala. Very tempting when it is soooo cold here at the moment.
