Those who follow this blog regularly know that Maria, one of the dedicated volunteers of our Homeward Bound Memorial Garden, has abandoned us for a few weeks to run around Eastern Europe. She forwarded this photo of Sunflowers grown in Bulgaria.
The sheer quantity is impressive and creates a stunning impression. I’m a bit biased, but I’m not sure they can compete with those growing in the Sunflower bed in Maria’s absence.
Is it the TLC they are receiving while she is gone? Hmmm…
This one looks like a Las Vegas showgirl,
and this one – lemon sherbet.
“Flowers have an expression of countenance as much as men and animals. Some seem to smile; some have a sad expression; some are pensive and diffident; others again are plain, honest and upright, like the broad-faced sunflower and the hollyhock.”
~ Henry Ward Beecher
Gardens For Goldens 
Did you know that the sunflower head will track the sun throughout the day?
I have seen it! Maybe it’s time for time lapse 🙂
That would be a fun project. Especially in such a large field.
I would love to see a time lapse of these sunflowers. I’m looking forward to further posts.
When I’m on vacation, we’ll get you set up with a camera and tripod to click every 10 minutes! 🙂
I’m glad to see the sunflowers are still putting on a nice show. It amazes me how many varieties have done so well in such a small space. Can’t wait to look through the catalogs this winter to add more varieties next year.
Better expand that bed 🙂 !!
Where is this garden? Is it open for the public to see?
Hi Jennifer,
It is a memorial garden at the rescue. Not generally open to the public, but available to all who volunteer, adopt, foster, train and rescue our beloved pups.
