Mary,
Thank your Mother~in~law for me, please!!! I L O V E Sunflowers…and these nearly took my breath away! I have never seen so many bees, amazing! Your photos are gorgeous…especially enjoyed those in the bud and with the blue morning glories! Thank you for this lovely post. A tribute to my home State…Kansas!
Fondly,
Pat
Sunflowers ~ fields of sunflowers ~ now that is a lovely thought! I’ve had bunches here this summer. They make me smile. Some were from a friend’s garden, and when they were gone I replenished from the local market. Sunny sunflowers say summer!
What a happy post! I hope you weren’t as close to those bees as it looks:) My hubby is VERY allergic and we have ended up in the hospital on numerous occasions. No sunflower fields nearby so I will rely on Trader Joe’s too. Hopefully will get there on sat., it is 45 mins. away for the closest one:( Have a sunny weekend, my friend. XO, Pinky
Beautiful sunflowers! I saw a field of sunflowers while traveling to the coast last month. It was the first time I had ever saw an entire field of them! I told my son instead instead of bushhogging our pasture, he could just plant sunflowers! He didn’t really go for that idea!
How exciting! I love sunflowers and am so glad to see so many bees enjoyed them…Bees seem to be disappearing in record numbers and it is encouraging to see so many in one place! Thank you, Mary for an inspiring post and such stunning photos!
Mary, your photos of the sunflowers and the bees are stunning! I planted sunflowers the first year after we moved here. The deer ate the heads off of them! I may have to try again next year, but I’ll put them inside the garden this time.
What a very good find for you and your camera! Sunflowers are in full bloom here, and the other day I bought them for 60 cents each at a farm market. What a deal!
Beautiful sunflower photos!!! I live just outside Denver, Colorado. We had fields and fields of sunflowers several years ago, then for some reason, the grower stopped planting. I loved driving by them. I love how they follow the sun. They switch their direction depending on where the sun shines on them.
I love your sunflowers. my husband is a sunflower fanatic and grew some this year. we chose the mammoth seed variety and they grew to 19 1/2 feet high. we contacted Guiness to see what the world record is and it was 22 feet. maybe next year we’ll make it. the colors were so glorious thank you for this beautiful pop of summer.susieDate: Thu, 23 Aug 2012 10:32:42 +0000 To: siameseguru@hotmail.com
Love how you captured the sunflowers in so many stages. As always your images are outstanding, such beautiful colors. Good to see the bees enjoying them too.
We don’t have a Trader Joe’s but we can get our sunflowers at farm stands. I’ve always thought that they are the perfect segue-flowers from summer to fall.
Mary, Your sunflower photos are amazing. I think my favorite is the 11th one with the blue morning glory next to it. Not one–not a single one–of my sunflowers came up this year!! I don’t know if it was the bad October weather last year, or hungry varmints, or an overzealous gardener. I had to buy the silk ones at Pottery Barn, which pale in comparison with this lovely field you found. Your MIL has a good eye for beauty! Linda
Mary, I love sunflowers. You’ve made my morning!!! :D :D
Sunflowers are so sweet. I love how their little faces follow the sun! Your photos are stunning, Mary. Very lovely post!

Very pretty pics Mary! Sunflowers are gorgeous and I always poke a few seeds in the garden. I think the birds enjoyed the seeds this year:@)
I never saw so many bees working on one flower before. Great photos, Mary. Beautiful. xo

It would be a delight to view a field of sunflowers like this. Great photos.
I love your beautiful sunflowers. What a pretty sight to see the field of sunflowers. Gorgeous photos.
Sunflowers are about the cheeriest flower going, I think. Loved the mosaics and the photos of those pretty fields.
The fields of sunflowers are so beautiful and the bees are just spectacular shots!
Those are such huge sunflowers! Wonderful photos for your mosaics!
