Most summer flowers seem pretty cheerful. But I think if they were ranked sunflowers would probably top the list.
And the only thing more cheerful than a sunflower is an entire field of them. I’ve been patiently watching these come into bloom for about a month.
They’re at a small farm on Sequim-Dungeness Road that sells eggs and a variety of vegetables. They were out of eggs but I picked up some exquisitely fresh beets. And I’ll bet it won’t be long before they’re selling bunches of sunflowers.
They certainly are cheerful. One of our library branches has a whole lot of them in the outside gardens.
They’re such happy flowers Kay.. I foresee vases of happiness in your near future 🌻
Sunflowers are always nice to see. I do love those farm stands that pop up on the side of the roads. We have a few mobile ones that stop on the side of the road in the countryside. The side of the vehicle opens up with all the fruit and veggies neatly arranged.
Apparently a sunflower farm near here has had their field overrun with people jumping the fence and tramping through the flowers to take selfless. They have destroyed a lot of flowers.
That’s disgusting! How would these same folks like someone doing that to their gardens??
I’m with you. Sunflowers are great. The bright yellow makes me smile.
The top photo is fantastic; brightens my day already!
