Quote: “We all know that a sunflower instinctively knows its source of life-giving energy, and follows it the whole day. Some of us believe that when it is dark and the Sun is hiding, the sunflowers turn to each other, and energize and strengthen each other. This faith is beautiful.” ~ Neena Verma, GRIEF GROWTH GRACE: A SACRED PILGRIMAGE

    ...I miss the bright color of the sunflowers, but they are now doing their assigned purpose in life! Joyce, take care and be well.

    The heavy bowed heads of sunflowers look so humble.

    Great quote and photo. After a long season, the sunflower takes its bow.

    It gives the decay feel with natural degradation.

      Agreed. Decay of the sunflower but I think they used to make vodka. Flowers are located at a nearby vodka distillery.

    The life of a sunflower, storing the energy of the sun and returning it to Nature's creatures in the form of pollen and then seeds. It's beautiful to behold.

      Yes. Seeds for the birds to eat. Yummy for people too.

      I found these sunflowers at a Vodka Distillery nearby. First they are used as a maze, then animals/birds probably eat some seeds and then I think, the flowers are used to make vodka.

    Your sunflower is nodding off to sleep after a glorious summer.
