Le Sacre du Printemps


Our wildflower bed is doing great so far this year, as in fact, are all of our plants. It has been a fine Spring for the garden and we should have an abundance of blooms to enjoy. Nevertheless, I went ahead and bought two bunches of sunflowers at the store the other day. They looked pretty promising, too promising to pass up. The sunflowers I grew at home last year only reached a height of about 6 inches and were best photographed using a macro lens. I'm going to try my best to resist any thought of crowns when I look at my sunflowers this season. I'm more inclined to view the sepals as dancing.
