The annual sunflower harvest is underway in the county. I found these towering but spindly examples on the edge of a field. I think they had been left because the flowers were too small.
Potted sunflowers decorating the church porch before morning service. Sunflowers (Helianthus annuus) are an American plant, brought to England in the 16th century as part of the bounty (and booty) of the New World. Basically they are giant daisies.
Did you know William Blake wrote a poem about the sunflower?
