I check on the giant sunflowers now every morning when I go out to the patio with my second cup of coffee. It makes me smile in wonderment how they know which way to face the rising sun, how they manage to chase it throughout the day, even on cloudy overcast days. I also decided that I'm going to flood next year's flower gardens with sunflowers of all colors and sizes, have nothing but happy smiling sunflowers in our back yard. I think the goldfinches will be thrilled.
