The sunflowers in the west garden are coming into bloom this first week of November. This is quite a feat . . . to have large sunflowers in November. I think I like them best when they are about to open (above). . .they look like a special package or sweet. . .perfectly wrapped.
Above: Me, in part of the garden, surrounded by sunflowers. Some will be 7 footers when they bloom this week and next, as indicated by my hand (I'm about 6 feet tall).
The palms are 3-year old Queen palms (Syagrus romanzoffiana) -- grown from seed -- that somehow survived last winter and are now thriving and about 18 feet tall today.
These are more of my favorite shots today.
I like the imperfection of these above and below. . . as they're opening. . .sticking a few 'fingers' out at a time.
