We feed the squirrels sunflower seeds so it is no wonder we see little plants coming up in various locations. Yes, the blossoms usually get eaten by the bushy tailed squirrels - but I suppose since I had nothing to do with the planting etc the squirrels can consider them their own private feast.
Today I was fortunate to catch some in bloom ~ probably tomorrow they will be gone.
My Rose of Sharon plant has not died - seems to be just holding its own...so guess time will tell on it. Some of the rest of my flowers are beginning to show the signs of continuously hot days. I water them all the time - but still some of the leaves are just drying up - mainly the hostas on the east side of the house. The ones on the north side are fine.
Summer is about half over - school will be starting soon for the schools in our area - where does the time go?

I love seeing your flowers!
Your sunflowers are so pretty! My one flower is still standing but beginning to droop. The squirrels haven't bothered it...guess we are lucky with this one.
I love sunflowers - I think of them as happy smiling faces! I am so ready for the heat to go. I weed the garden very, very early in the morning and then disappear into the house. I put in a hydrangea this year and the sun nearly fried it! I now have a chair sitting over it to shield it from the sun just a bit. I am afraid I am going to have to purchase a "specimen" tree (which will cost a fortune) just to get some shade in a hurry. I have two small trees that I planted but they are not growing fast enough!!
The sunflowers are beautiful!!!! They are the perfect summer flower.♥
I love sunflowers. I guess I won't plant any - I have enough squirrel activity. :/
I love the brightness of the sunflowers...and they just came up? wow!
My Sweet Girl starts school (Kindergarten)on Aug 9th! Time is flying!
My zinnia's are all droopy and dried up. :( The heat has been so oppressive here in Atlanta.
Your sunflowers are gorgeous! Ours were eaten by deer. :)
I love sunflowers too. I am actually a little anxious for fall to come. I am not ready for winter but just a little cooler temps.
I do love sunflowers! They are always such bright friends in the garden.
Thanks for the tip on today's flower. I didn't know what kind of flower it is, just that it's pink!
