What's Blooming Now - Aurelia Sunflower 08/30/10






I planted several seed packages of this sunflower, and the deer ate the top off of every one except this one. Well, that's life in the country, I guess. I used to go by the rule: one for me and one for them. Now I go by the rule: one for me and two for them. That's an average. In this particular case they took more, but I think the one for two rule is a pretty good one. Overall I really think I've been lucky with deer. They haven't bothered me too much. The armadillos are much, much worse. But isn't this a pretty sunflower? It's a particularly cheerful one. They grow to 4 feet tall and they are multi branching.
