Solo Sunflower
I think this picture is deceptive, the flower is only an inch wide. It’s from one of the seeds my daughter planted into a clear cup in the spring either at preschool or Sunday School. She asked me the other day what happened to all her sunflowers so we went out in the garden and were thrilled to find this little guy.
Don’t tell my daughter. There was another sunflower but I cut it to add to a birthday bouquet for a friend.

Grass anyone?
Not THAT kind of grass!
I need to weed the pebble covered courtyard at the front of the house. It’s covered in tiny little weeds … and also this lovely grass which seems to have seeded itself from a nearby decorative grass bed. Mom suggested I pop them individually into small pots and baby them all winter then come next year I’ll have plenty of new plants. Not that I’ll have any room to plant them.
Speaking of which, if someone is willing to come over and help dig out and split some overgrown grasses, you’re welcome to help yourself to a few clumps!
