Today is Sunflower Day!!!

I'm going to talk about sunflowers. I'm obsessed with them. They may possibly be the best, most beautiful flowers that I've ever seen.

We've always grown them at my house... well these days they grow themselves. I don't think we planted them the last couple of years, they just pop up on their own!!
I think it's the orange and yellow color scheme that makes me feel so warm, but I also love the deep wine red sunflowers.

I took this, my favorite part is the blue tones in the seeds

Sunflowers are the state flower of Kansas, I wish they were the state flower of Maryland... that would be awesome.
