We used to have a chance to walk by and visit with Miss Bernice in Sylva.  She grows the most incredible garden and I always love to look at her sunflowers.  They are huge, healthy and brilliant in color.

If there ever was a mystery as to why this flower is called "sunflower", it is quickly dispelled when looking into this beauty.

Mona, those photos are so beautiful.  How great to be able to have them blossoming right before your very eyes.  Everyone should have a Miss Bernice nearby.  :)

I love the close-up in your post.  It just jumps right off the screen, and lights up my entire room.  Thanks so much !

Hope you all are well...

The flowers in the photo are beautiful and the color is amazing, but are they sunflowers Mona?  Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this a sunflower?

Check with Miss Bernice.

Karen Anne, I like being the ray of sunshine on your screen.  Glad you enjoyed the sunflower.

Roger, I wouldn't dream of correcting you...oh hell yeah I would.  I believe Miss Bernice called this a clown face sunflower, but the sunflower website calls it Tohokujhae    Big double flowers, about 7 inches across, in bright yellow. These are shaggy in the middle with a single band of flat petals around the outside. Multiple blooms. Plants varied in height from 3-6 feet.

Wayne, thanks so much.

Tammy, see Roger's answer.  I found out there are even red sunflowers.

Sheila, just imagine a whole row of them!

Maria, I actually had no idea how many there were until we met Bernice.

Gay, you too.

Mona... such kind words you share with me.  This sunflower photo is SO beautiful... I bet it could be framed and sold... if someone were entrepreneurial enough to do that.  It is by far the prettiest Sunflower I have ever seen.

By the way... I invite you to come read my latest post out tonight.  I am sure you will find it of interest.  Have a Great Weekend.
