Our Sunflower Is Blooming !!
It is still quite short but already the flowers are coming out !
This is the only open flower, but there are heaps of buds that, I'm sure, will soon follow suit !
If you look very carefully on this one,
you will see a baby praying mantis.
Just it's head ... and antennae !
On the bottom of the flower.
Don't confuse it with
the piece of dried
grass on the
yellow
bit
!

I see the praying mantis!
I love sunflowers - enjoy them for me!
Let me know what exactly you do with a sunflower. We got one from our CSA last summer and beyond putting it in a jar and displaying it...I was at a loss!
This blog series made me think of you.

O gosh, Bon! This is just gorgeous.. and see that little guy on the bottom... my goodness! Fantastic flowers! These are some of my faves!
sunflowers are just about my favorite flowers! love these pictures. they remind me of summer in a chilly brown Colorado winter.
So pretty. great pictures and good job on capturing the praying mantis!
Love that top picture!
How my mind works. First thoughts: Pipas, Chipiona, Heliotrope, Beautiful Flowers. We had some big sunflowers at the Fort Meade house. It's really hard to find that praying mantis but well worth the trouble. Then on reflection. Brilliant yellow of the flowers. Nice blog post. Clever formatting of the text. Bonnie is very observant of nature, and creative in communicating, and clever! I'm so glad--and proud...
Dad ! The Fort Meade sunflowers are my inspiration for growing these ... although, at the moment these are not even 1/4 the size of those !!
LOVE how bright these pictures of yours turned out!
I see it! And those flowers are BEAUTIFUL!!! Lovely photography.
(oh - the book on my blog is A Moveable Feast, by Ernest Hemingway - one of my favorites - check it out next time you go to the library!
How wonderful to see some sunflower pictures! We have snow here today. Thanks for sharing. :)
