My wife is the guest photographer today of this volunteer sunflower. The birds planted this sunflower in my front yard. It was coming up next to a privet bush and I left it. I was pretty sure it was a sunflower and I just left it to see what would happen. My wife wants to paint some sunflower paintings so I mentioned she needed to take photos of this one. The sun was out and the bloom is in great shape as it just opened a day or two ago. The plant has many buds on it so it must be the variety that the bird farmers harvest to make up their bags to sell. I can visualize the combine they use to harvest a field full of them chewing up the plant and all gleaning out the seeds in a hopper.

Beautiful volunteer sunflower.
Great shot! What a nice gift! I had one come up my first summer here, next to the sage, and took photos.
