Meanwhile, this pretty flower has exciting possibilities.
Roasted sunflower seeds! My hope is that by November, when baseball is all over, I can spit sunflower husks on my living room floor like the ball players do in the dugout.
Speaking of foodstuffs. This is a fig tree. (Well, the one on the left is a fig tree the other is oregano.) Anyway. No figs yet but maybe - if the tree survives under a blanket in the garage over the winter and bears fruit next year- we will have figs!
Let us return to the pretty. This is what a poinsettia plant looks like in August!
Such a pretty post today !
ReplyDeleteMust look up Rose of Sharon.
The sunflower is so big an quite yummy looking (already) !
cheers, parsnip and badger
August has always been a tough month for me. Not only is this built for cooler weather gal dealing with HOT STICKY conditions but on top of that summer blooms are gone or winding down and fall blooms are not up yet...
DeleteThe Rose of Sharon is a treasure! It offers bright cheery flowers just when they are most needed!
As for the sunflower- the plant is about 8 feet tall! The flower is about 12 inches in diameter! Yipee! Yum yum!!
Lovely summer growth!
ReplyDeleteTrue that! I am especially tickled about the poinsettia. (I put it in a pot labeled LAVENDER just for fun. Some gardeners love to be silly.)
DeleteI love sunflowers!
