My goodness, when I saw the backend of that tractor, I knew why you had to stampede into the sunflowers to get out of its path, wow! I loved the picture of you with the sunflowers in the background, they are the most beautiful flowers to see! I didn't know all those facts about them, and was very interested to read your research about them. And the fact that they are native to our country is remarkable too. The treat at the end definitely was a perfect delight to enjoy after the end of such a fun day :) Marilyn @ MountainTopSpicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00600290895531484438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859377925928604245.post-70640721366456581632017-08-19T20:24:15.888-07:002017-08-19T20:24:15.888-07:00Beautiful in deed!

The heliotropism is very interesting because I potted a Heliotrope flower this year and one of their features is that they follow the sun. So I guess that's the term heliotropism comes from, the Heliotrope flower, or the name Heliotrope comes from the term heliotropism. Kind of like the chicken and the egg. Which came first? xoA Joyful Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08604235087317891071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859377925928604245.post-57520341028381116432017-08-15T08:55:34.370-07:002017-08-15T08:55:34.370-07:00I love sunflowers!

My neighbor got the benefit of seeing their pretty faces each morning as they looked over the fence toward the sunrise, at HIM. They never turned around and looked at me so I gave up growing them.
