Wordless Wednesday: Ring of Fire?

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Napa Consultants DRE00893924

This morning as we were leaving Bristol Farms, I noticed this Ring of Fire Sunflower.  I stopped Ron in his tracks, so that I could take a photo of this beauty.

 

My research revealed that is a late summer special, and grows 4-6 feet tall, and sends our flowering branches.  Happy Wednesday!

 

Someone was sitting in front of a sunflower, watching the sunflower, a cup of sun, and so I tried it too. It was wonderful; I felt the whole universe in the sunflower. That was my experience. Sunflower meditation. A wonderful confidence appeared. You can see the whole universe in a flower.

Gorgeous!  I love those flowers!  I've got a got story of growing one just like that when I was a kid.  Pretty fun outcome.  Maybe I'll have a chance to write it tomorrow.  You'll smile Alexandra!  Can I use your photo?
