Today at New Dungeness Nursery

Purple Sunflowers Begging to be Photographed

What better way to celebrate the onset of May than with a trip to one of our local nurseries?

Although my luck with growing plants is questionable, I love the thought of having a yard full of plants and flowers to nurture and photograph. So I’m always glad when a friend suggests to stop by the New Dungeness Nursery here in town to admire their collection.

And today, as I cruised through their selection, I found this eye popping color staring back at me. Later research, whether accurate or inaccurate, tells me these beauties are purple sunflowers, but with this much variety in color I question the name.

Nonetheless, if you too find yourself craving a nature “fix” or if you need help in the garden like I do, the nursery, as well as the Master Gardener Nursery in town are there to help, or to simply indulge your senses in the beauty of May flowers.
