Lorraine Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 That's beautiful. I could sit there for hours and hours and hours. Maybe even fall asleep under one of those trees if I had enough of warm blankets and a fluffy pillow. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She asked me to post photos because they are so beautiful. TRF members are awesome! That they are! :) Aren't the flowers absolutely beautiful? They'd be even better if I was a better photographer, but I did the best I could considering I know about 15% of how the phone functions and what it can and can't do. Not even one of the hospice workers, whose job it is to report such things, telling me I look pretty bad, feel bad. Since we first met - maybe six weeks ago? - she said I lost weight, my face looks tired and drawn, and my voice is losing its oomph. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 That's really beautiful. I'm assuming you took these pictures yourself? I took some last minute ones on the dying vines. Some of them came out very nice. I've been busy drying out the seeds and give them to others who live here, and to just some friends who might want to plant a sunflower for me next Spring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Glad to report that the above floral arrangement still looks as great today as it did a few days ago when it arrived. :) :ebert: :hug2: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the flower pictures I post are taken by either myself or my husband in our pollinator gardens, which we like to plant up in all the awkward parts of our property that aren't suitable for veg gardens or more formal landscaping. Growing pollinator-friendly plants has become an important and meaningful part of my year. I didn't get many sunflowers this year but here are some good ones from a few years ago: I have already planned a space for sunflowers next year for you :hug2: 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhyta Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) I love sunflowers too. I remember a trip to Kansas in the early 2000's to meet my hubby's grandfather. We drove by many fields of them and they were always facing the sun. On the way back we could almost see them move towards the sun as we drove west. Beautiful and I got a lovely t-shirt with a big sunflower on the front as my souvenir of the trip. :heart: Edited October 18, 2021 by Rhyta 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thought came to me today that you might like to plant them. Only questions are: will they think we are sending contraband drugs via the usps and, if not, what would be the best way to pack them up for you? I know they are going to ask what's in the package. Maybe my age is an asset as I smile sweetly and say, "Sunflower seeds!! from my garden for my friend to plant in her garden" What do you think? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They required no garden expert to do it. Just dig small hole and shove in seeds and water a lot. Then one day, about two weeks later, these little green shoots started sprouting out of the ground. They grew very fast It as exciting waiting for the fist one to bloom. The bees and hummingbirds loved them. They are bright and sunny and a joy to look at.

Lorraine Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Love the bee action photos. Everyone keeps telling me what a swell camera my phone is supposed to have, but without a swell photographer, the swell camera is kind of useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueschica Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Here are some photos to start the week with! I hope it is a good one for you, dear Lorraine! There are from about 10 days ago, in my zinnias. We had some pretty butterflies. They must have been hightailing it south! Haven't seen any this week! . 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
