I got a nice surprise last week!

What a neat surprise! I don't see a picture, though. I got a similar surprise last week. I thought this particular thing was a weed but something told me to leave it alone. Now I've got the prettiest coral colored flowers in my front yard. Still have no idea what it is. I need to make a discussion out of it with the picture to see if anyone can help me.

I got the same thing in my vegetable garden, of course I am letting it grow there. I also have one stalk of corn growing right beside my steps outside, I think that one is kinda funny, but I am sure the birds 'planted' it as well and I will continue to let it grow as well. When your sunflower gets big , you will be able to harvest some seeds to plant more. The birds will also come back and get seeds from your flower too !

I'm glad you've had a sunflower. They're lovely and cheerful Mine have been a complete disaster this year. I intended to grow loads so that I could save the seed heads for the chickens in the winter, but I planted three whole trays of them and have only two flowers to show for it. So much for my good intentions!
