Sunflower

The sunflowers are blooming now in the garden. Some of them are 10 feet tall!!!! We have to stake them against the north wind, but they're still beautiful.
Here's a good word for you: phototropism. Sunflowers are phototropic, meaning they move with the sun. They face the east in the morning, then move around to the south, then face west by the end of the day. They are fascinating to see.
There is a big patch of sunflowers on Mocassin Creek Road, near the mobile home park. They are really pretty right now!!! Hope you get to see them in your travels.
HAPPY GARDENING!!!
