Birdseed..............


During the past week the sunflowers have matured quickly.  It went from a flat small bloom to a large seed filled head.  I am always amazed at the texture of the little flower like parts of the center of the sunflower.   I am hoping to take in the seed head and put it out this winter for the birds. I will know when it is ready to be harvested when I see the birds start to feed from it this fall.

I'm sure the birds will enjoy that sunflower seed head this winter. I know I enjoyed your photo.

My birds would love all those seeds... if I had sunflowers the bigger birds might leave the feeders alone.

That’s one big pan of seeds! Nice perspective on the center of the sunflower

Old Iris Variety…..

 I collected on rhizome from an old cemetery and many years later I have three plantings of it. It is very hardy. For some reason a painting...
